Innovating Cleanroom Excellence
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is India’s premier national space agency, renowned for its innovative work in satellite development, launch vehicles, and interplanetary exploration. ISRO has been a key player in advancing India’s space capabilities, conducting various missions, including launching satellites and spacecraft and conducting interplanetary exploration.
ISRO undertakes many high-precision operations such as satellite assembly, launch vehicle integration, and spacecraft instrumentation. These activities involve using advanced electronic components prone to contamination and electrostatic discharge (ESD). These components must be handled in ultra-clean, static-free environments to ensure reliable performance and mission success.
At its Thiruvananthapuram facility, ISRO required a biosafe ISO Class 6 cleanroom to support critical operations for the Chandrayaan mission. The cleanroom was necessary to safely handle and integrate spacecraft payloads, scientific instruments, and electronic subsystems. These components are highly prone to particulate, microbial, and electrostatic interference, which can compromise the success of an interplanetary mission. The cleanroom environment ensured precision assembly, contamination control, and protection of sensitive materials, thereby safeguarding the integrity and functionality of mission-critical equipment, without interrupting other ongoing activities at the site.
Kaizen Airtreat was entrusted with the end-to-end responsibility for delivering a high-performance, ISO-compliant cleanroom system. The following client expectations were defined,
All materials and systems were carefully selected to ensure safety, compliance, and high precision,
Once the project was confirmed, Kaizen Airtreat began with an on-site survey and collaborative sessions with ISRO engineers. The team then developed a customised modular cleanroom system that consisted of electrostatic-safe materials and a smart air management system. Overall, the solution had the following components/ parts,
The entire cleanroom was pre-fabricated and trial-assembled at Kaizen’s Pune facility. This included,
Once validated, the system was disassembled, packed, and shipped to ISRO’s site in Thiruvananthapuram.
The cleanroom was installed smoothly without disturbing the ongoing work at the facility. Kaizen’s phased and flexible execution allowed for real-time adjustments and smooth coordination with ISRO’s internal teams. Final testing confirmed ISO Class 6 performance, after which the cleanroom was officially handed over.
To meet mission-critical standards, the project involved
The transparent ISO Class 6 cleanroom was successfully designed and installed to support ISRO’s precision assembly of critical space electronics. Key requirements like electrostatic safety, clear visibility, and contamination control were met. The entire setup was completed without disrupting existing operations, ensuring a smooth integration into the working environment.
