“We understand the importance of lunar missions."
Carol Craig, Sidus Space
Sidus will be supporting a lunar transportation, infrastructure and exploration services company with Program Management, Flight Software, Command & Data Handling (C&DH), Electrical and Thermal support services. A commercial lunar platform includes everything from payload integration and operations, to launching from Earth and landing on the surface of the Moon. Lunar missions have the potential for significant impact on the future of commercial space as preparations escalate for human missions to the moon and eventually to Mars.
“We understand the importance of lunar missions," said Sidus Space Founder and CEO Carol Craig. "The moon provides an opportunity to build an infrastructure that enables human permanence on the moon and a transition to commercial operations past lower earth orbit and on to more distant destinations.”
