ECS Reaches a Major Milestone in Space Electronics — Participates in Taiwan Lilium CubeSat Missions

For this mission, ECS’s independently developed On-Board Computer (OBC) will make its debut on Lilium-3, marking a significant milestone in the company’s advancement in space electronics. Designed with a “hosted payload” concept, the OBC distributes the power load of the main satellite and manages communication between the bus and payload. Through this in-orbit verification, the ECS OBC will attain critical flight heritage — a key foundation for future commercial space applications and international collaborations.

At the same time, ECS’s OBCC6M7R high-reliability satellite motherboard began receiving orders in late 2024 and will support more domestic and international satellite missions as well as commercial space programs. Both Lilium-2 and Lilium-3 are 6-unit (6U) CubeSats, and this mission will also validate a range of Taiwan-developed technologies, including Ku-band high-speed communication, intelligent telemetry edge computing, and vacuum-arc thrusters. ECS will participate in Lilium-3’s in-orbit testing and leverage real operational experience to accelerate product maturity, further demonstrating its R&D strength and technological advantages in space electronics.

Looking ahead, ECS will continue to build on its hardware-software integration capabilities, product verification expertise, and space electronics design experience to contribute to more low Earth orbit missions and other space initiatives — supporting the long-term growth of Taiwan’s aerospace industry.
