Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) has successfully completed the critical design review (CDR) for LizzieSat™ NL, a laser communication satellite contracted by The Netherlands Organization (TNO). This achievement triggers a milestone payment under their multimillion-dollar agreement and validates the technical baseline for satellite design. The CDR approval allows progression to flight-unit fabrication, assembly, system integration, and testing.

The project involves integrating TNO's HemiCAT, a high-efficiency miniature communications laser terminal, into Sidus' hybrid 3D printed satellite platform. The laser technology enables up to 100 times more data transmission compared to traditional radio frequency systems, enhancing applications like persistent surveillance and Earth imaging.

Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) has received FCC approval to operate a micro constellation of remote sensing, multi-mission satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This approval covers LizzieSat™ 2-5, expanding Sidus Space's orbital footprint beyond LizzieSat™-1. The license enables new missions and enhanced data acquisition capabilities through Sidus' innovative data-as-a-service model.

Sidus owns the data collected by LizzieSat™ sensors for all missions, offering customers access to valuable data streams. This aligns with the company's strategy to position itself as a space mission enabler, providing situational awareness to government, defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors globally.

As part of LizzieSat™ 2 and 3 missions, Sidus will host HEO's Holmes Imager payload, which will capture resolved images of satellites and space debris in orbit. Sidus will also provide ongoing monthly data services to HEO.

Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) has successfully completed environmental testing for LizzieSat™-2 (LS-2), marking a important milestone as the company prepares for its upcoming launch into Low Earth Orbit later this year. The testing, conducted by Element Materials Technology in Orlando, subjected LS-2 to comprehensive random vibration tests, simulating launch conditions and verifying its structural integrity. The satellite demonstrated its ability to withstand more than three times the maximum predicted launch environment while maintaining full functionality in orbit.

CEO Carol Craig highlighted the significance of this achievement, emphasizing its importance for the company's growth strategy. John Curry, Chief Mission Operations Officer, noted that LizzieSat-1, launched in March, has been performing well for over 200 days in orbit. The team has leveraged insights from LS-1 to implement enhancements in LS-2, addressing increasing customer demands and expanding data collection capabilities.

Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) has signed an agreement with Neuraspace to enhance its LizzieSat™ constellation operations. The partnership, announced at the World Space Business Week conference in Paris, will provide Sidus with Space Traffic Management and Launch and Early Operations (LEOP) support services. Neuraspace's platform utilizes advanced AI and Machine Learning to offer high-precision tracking, real-time conjunction screening, and accurate two-line element (TLE) data.

This strategic move aims to reinforce mission safety, efficiency, and longevity for Sidus Space as they prepare for the launch of their next LizzieSat™ satellite later this year. The collaboration leverages Neuraspace's global network of ground-based sensors, including optical, radar, and laser systems, to ensure precise situational awareness of Sidus' on-orbit assets.

Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) has been awarded a follow-on contract from NASA Stennis for additional ASTRA (Autonomous Satellite Technology for Resilient Applications) support aboard LizzieSat™-1. The expanded mission objectives focus on collecting onboard data for critical systems, enabling ASTRA's Primary Operations Control Center to manage the Electrical Power System through Sidus' Mission Control Center. This advancement allows for continuous monitoring and optimization of the satellite's battery voltage, ensuring normal payload operation even in suboptimal solar conditions.

The new capabilities include dynamic power management, activating or deactivating specific equipment based on battery charge levels and mission needs. This represents a significant improvement in operational flexibility and efficiency. CEO Carol Craig highlighted that this contract with NASA demonstrates Sidus Space's commitment to advancing space technology through innovation and execution.
