Sidus Space, a multi-faceted Space, and Data-as-a-Service company, announced the successful completion of launch processing of LizzieSat at the Astrotech Space Operations facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The Sidus team executed the final steps in the launch processing of LizzieSat, including mating the satellite to the separation system and the launch vehicle adapter, which allows for mounting to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. LizzieSat has been turned over to SpaceX and is ready for launch on the Transporter-10 mission which is targeted for no earlier than March 2024.

Fully integrated into the satellite is the Sidus FeatherEdge AI platform which allows for advanced onboard system processing from space-based data sensors. Following the launch, Sidus expects to continue to expand both military and commercial customer bases to provide customized intelligence for multiple industries including defense, agriculture, maritime, and oil and gas.

Carol Craig, CEO and Founder of Sidus Space highlighted the significance of this milestone, stating, “LizzieSat's distinctive multi-sensor data collection platform represents a paradigm shift, offering tangible impacts across multiple industries through the utilization of cutting-edge on-orbit satellite technology. This innovative approach consolidates various data sources into a single on-orbit asset, showcasing the transformative power of advanced space technology in revolutionizing how industries access and utilize crucial information."

Sidus Space continues to actively expand the LizzieSat constellation, with additional satellites already in production for launches in 2024 and beyond. This ongoing effort underscores our commitment to advancing space exploration and delivering cutting-edge solutions in satellite technology.
