Critical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hardware contract milestones have been reached by Sidus Space as the company prepares for the launch of LizzieSat-1. The spacecraft, which will eventually be part of a satellite constellation, is scheduled for launch in March 2024 as part of SpaceX’s Transporter-10 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.
"These milestones underscore our dedication to cutting-edge AI technology solutions that reshape possibilities in the ever-evolving space technology landscape."

Notable recent achievements include the successful delivery of an engineering unit supporting methane detection, day-in-the-life testing for hardware, and the launch of a beta-version vessel detection platform. Additionally, the successful completion of a Critical Design Review for hardware under a NASA Phase 2 Sequential award demonstrates Sidus Space's experienced adherence to and understanding of NASA standards.
Future plans include delivering FeatherBox flight units to support methane detection, delivering engineering units for continued testing under the NASA Phase 2 Sequential Award, and conducting essential ground testing of pre-processing algorithms for Near-Infrared (NIR) and Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) sensors.
"These milestones underscore our dedication to cutting-edge AI technology solutions that reshape possibilities in the ever-evolving space technology landscape," said Jeremy Allam, Vice President of AI Products at Sidus Space. "We align our services with the dynamic needs of a changing space economy and aim to capitalize on high-margin revenue growth."
