Sidus Space plans for 2025
Sidus Space in the US has completed design work on a Dutch laser satellite and plans to launched its latest LizzieSat early next year.
The company, which raised $37m in 2024, launched LizzieSat-1 in March and LizzieSat-2 in December, establishing a micro-constellation for hosted payloads. It is planning to launch LizzieSat-3 in Q1 2025 to enhance the company’s data capabilities and support a variety of applications across government, defense, intelligence and commercial sectors.
It has also completed the critical design review for LizzieSat NL, a laser communication satellite contracted by The Netherlands Organization, and has a strategic partnership with Reflex Aerospace, a cutting-edge European satellite manufacturing startup.
The Florida-based company is also to exclusively design and build the first-generation lunar fleet of Data Storage Spacecraft for Lonestar Data Holdings, a provider of premium data storage and Resiliency-as-a-Service (RAAS), which reinforces the adaptability of the LizzieSat platform.
The company now holds 11 granted patents and 10 pending applications for its LizzieSat Modular Satellite Platform System. It also developed a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) switch card, which extends the capabilities of the payload processor, enabling communication with multiple optical sensors through high speed LVDS data connections. It is also developing a VPX On-Board Computer (OBC), leveraging its manufacturing and technology expertise to address critical space supply chain challenges.
“Our accomplishments in 2024 represent the foundation of a bright future for Sidus Space,” said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus. “We’ve demonstrated the adaptability and scalability of our solutions, expanded our constellation and strengthened key partnerships. As we transition into 2025, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space while delivering innovative, real-time data services to our customers.”
