Sidus Space Announces LizzieSat-2 Ready for Launch

Next-generation satellite equipped with advanced sensor suite and AI-driven data capabilities to deliver critical insights from orbit and expand Sidus Space's on-orbit presence.

Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), an innovative, agile space mission enabler, announced the successful completion of the launch processing of LizzieSat™-2 at the Astrotech Space Operations facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. LizzieSat™-2 has been turned over to SpaceX and is ready for launch on the Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission, which is targeted for no earlier than December of 2024.

LizzieSat™-2 was designed and manufactured at Sidus Space’s state-of-the-art facility on Florida’s Space Coast. The satellite is equipped with an advanced sensor suite that includes AIS, multi-spectral methane detection, and high-resolution visual spectrum sensors, as well as the HEO Holmes Imager, provided by HEO (USA), a subsidiary of Australian-based HEO. The Holmes Imager is a cutting-edge technology that powers HEO Inspect, an in-orbit satellite inspection platform designed for non-Earth imaging (NEI) and the precise characterization of space objects. LizzieSat™-2 will provide data through a monthly subscription contract for HEO, further demonstrating Sidus Space’s role as a leading provider of multi-mission space-based data solutions.

Leveraging Sidus’ proprietary FeatherEdge™ AI processor, LizzieSat™-2 will enable on-orbit data processing for actionable insights, supporting applications such as Space Situational Awareness (SSA), non-Earth Imaging, maritime monitoring, environmental assessments and disaster response.
