Liftoff of the Sidus Space, an innovative, agile space mission enabler, LizzieSat-3 is targeted for a launch window that opens, on March 14, 2025, at 11:39 PM PDT. The satellite will launch as part of the Transporter-13 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

LizzieSat-3 is the latest addition to Sidus Space’s growing constellation, designed to deliver near real-time, AI-powered intelligence from Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Equipped with multiple state-of-the-art sensors and technologies, including advanced cameras and radio frequency (RF) sensors, the satellite will leverage Sidus’ proprietary Orlaith AI Platform to process data directly on orbit, providing rapid asset detection, identification, and classification.

Unlike traditional satellite intelligence systems that rely on post-mission data processing, LizzieSat-3 enables near real-time insights through onboard AI processing. With high revisit rates, low-latency data transmission, and automated decision-making capabilities, this launch marks a significant step in advancing AI-driven space solutions.

As a leader in space technology, rapid satellite manufacturing, and AI-powered space-based solutions, Sidus Orlaith enables onboard processing, mission updates in orbit, and rapid, direct-to-user data relay. This proprietary advanced edge-processing ecosystem allows the delivery of AI-driven analytics directly from space with significantly reduced latency for mission-critical applications.

LizzieSat-3 marks Sidus’ third satellite launch in 12 months, reinforcing the company’s role as a leader in space technology, rapid satellite manufacturing, and AI-powered space-based intelligence. With each launch, Sidus expands its capacity to provide enhanced data collection, improved revisit rates, and near real-time insights for government, defense, intelligence, and commercial customers.

“This launch highlights Sidus’ agility and innovation, as we continue to deploy AI-powered satellites that transform how data is processed and delivered from space,” said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space. “Beyond near real-time analytics, LizzieSat-3 also incorporates a space-to-space data relay module, enabling rapid, direct-to-user data transfer for time-sensitive missions.”

With LizzieSat-3, Sidus Space continues to redefine space-based intelligence, unlocking new possibilities for AI-driven decision-making from orbit.
