ECLIPSE Benefits
“We are exposed to a dynamic and
competitive world-wide commercial
market: as an SME it is mandatory to
keep looking for improvements on the
efficiencies and the flexibility of the tools
available to the project teams and to the
Company.
We have found in ECLIPSE a sound tool
that will help us reduce both set up and
managing efforts, providing also high
customization of the modules and always
staying within the ECSS standards
perimeter”

ECLIPSE for University CubeSats

• Centralised project environment
• Applicable for all projects, including CubeSats
• ECLIPSE is Modular so we pick and choose the modules
depending on the phase
• This is good news for us to use in smaller CubeSat projects
• Simple, modern and easy to use interface
• This is important as many students will work short term on
projects
• Simple User Administration with Group privileges
• Also important to differentiate between Student &
Supervisor/teacher Roles
• Built with ECSS Standard processes
• Mmmm…this is maybe not so good
So what have we learned?

An initiative established to develop a coherent, single set of user-friendly standards for use in all
European space activities. Such as…
• Space Project Management
• Space Product Assurance
• Space Engineering
European Cooperation for Space Standardisation
So what is ECSS?
If you like; it’s the way it’s always been done!

“Doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results"
So what’s next?
This is where you come in…
We want to put the software in the hands of
students and universities across the UK
However for truly different results you need to
try something different…this is where DAB
comes in…
