Operational Highlights

 

The Company continues to take meaningful steps toward the inaugural launch of its LizzieSatTM Constellation:

 

  The Company signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Exo-Space to integrate Exo-Space’s FeatherEdge Data Processing Platform into its hybrid 3D printed satellite, LizzieSat™. Sidus was also awarded a contract for integration and launch of Exo-Space’s artificial intelligence software technology on Earth observation satellites.
     
  A multi-launch agreement was signed with SpaceX for five LizzieSat rideshare missions. These 5 satellite missions will support previously announced customers that Sidus continues to layer into its pipeline.
     
  The Company signed an MOU with Momentus Inc. to explore launching its LizzieSat™ satellites utilizing Momentus’ Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle (“OSV”).
