ECU Space Integration Facility & SWIRSAT-2 Mission Showcase
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is honoured to invite you to the official opening of our high-grade Satellite Cleanroom Facility—a premier addition to Western Australia’s sovereign space infrastructure.
This facility represents a landmark collaboration between ECU and our anchor partner, LC60, an Australian Earth Observation (EO) satellite prime. Over recent months, LC60’s technical experts have worked alongside ECU to uplift this facility to ISO 6 (Class 1000) standards, required for high-precision optical payloads and sensitive satellite electronics.
The opening marks the final countdown for LC60’s SWIRSAT-2 mission. Within two weeks of this launch, the cleanroom will go "live" for the first-ever integration of an optical payload into a satellite platform on ECU grounds.
