The Division of Business and Economic Development of the Department for Economic Affairs, Canton of Zurich, has highlighted Sirin Orbital Systems AG and Space Robotics Lab at the University of Málaga’s pioneering project for serving In-Orbit Data Centres.

“The market potential is colossal as this technology aims at autonomous deployment, inspection and maintenance of large-scale in-orbit infrastructures such as extended solar panels and heat dissipaters / radiators of In-Orbit Data Centres — such as those under development by Starcloud – among others.”

End-to-End Control for Handling Operations in Orbit (ECHO²) is a collaborative research project between the Space Robotics Lab (University of Málaga), the European Space Agency (ESA), and Sirin Orbital Systems AG. The project explores a markerless, vision-driven pipeline that enables orbital robotic systems to autonomously inspect, diagnose, and repair large space structures (LSS) without relying on visual markers, standardised interfaces, or continuous human intervention.

As space infrastructure expands, autonomous solutions are essential for reducing reliance on risky and costly astronaut extravehicular activities. With ECHO², we address this challenge by developing a flexible, perception-aware robotic inspection system capable of operating reliably in complex orbital environments.

A use-case of this technology aims at autonomous deployment, inspection and maintenance of large-scale in-orbit infrastructures such as extended solar panels and heat dissipaters / radiators of In-Orbit Data Centres—such as those under development by Starcloud – The Future of AI among others.

Sirin Orbital Systems AG is proudly sponsoring the European Space Camp (ESC) to be held in Andøya Space in Northern Norway, 3-10 August 2025. ESC gives the opportunity to 25 brightest young people—aged 17-20—from all over Europe to spend six days running different aspects of a real rocket campaign including the launch itself. Scattered throughout the week are a number of lectures from some of Europe’s top scientists and engineers on topics varying from rocket physics to the northern lights.

ESC’s main goal is to promote science and technology as a career and education. To achieve this, the camp focuses on three things: lectures, practical work, and social activities. The camp is filled with challenges and world-class lectures. The participants get to build their own sounding rocket and take on all the challenges of a rocket campaign. They get expert guidance from rocket scientists and professors through group work and listen to lectures from some of Europe’s top scientists.

ESC is the largest camp of this type in Europe, and is organized on a complete non-profit basis. ESC therefore relies on the support of various sponsor organisations and collaborating partners. Sirin Orbital Systems AG is delighted to be invited to support the ESC 2025 along with other distinguished supporters including Norwegian Space Agency (NOSA), Andøya Space, Kongsberg Defence Systems, Gard, Nammo, KSAT (Kongsberg Satellite Systems), University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), University of Stavanger (UiS), Andøya Municipality, SpareBank Nord-Norge.
