Sidus Space Achieves Another Milestone with Successful Completion of Command and Data System Testing Ahead of Upcoming LizzieSat™ Launch

Business Wire
Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU), a Space-as-a-Service satellite
company focused on mission-critical hardware manufacturing;
multi-disciplinary engineering services; satellite design,
production, launch planning, mission operations; and in-orbit
support, successfully completed critical command and data system
testing required for mission success of its LizzieSat™
constellation. With this testing complete, LizzieSat is one step
closer to its manifested 2023 launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida,
on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Sidus Space partnered with Kongsberg Satellite (KSAT), a
Norwegian-based company that provides ground station communication
links to satellite constellations, to complete the S-Band Radio
Frequency (RF) Compatibility Test (RFCT) for the Company’s hybrid
3D-printed satellites. The completion of these tests validates the
proper functioning of the communications and data transfer paths
between a LizzieSat satellite in space and the KSAT ground
stations.
“The successful test of Sidus Space integrated space to ground
communications architecture meets critical design requirements.
LizzieSat satellite communications route seamlessly into our
Mission Control Center (MCC) and allow Sidus flight controllers to
maintain each satellite at peak efficiency throughout it’s 5-year
orbital lifetime,” said Carol Craig, Sidus Space CEO.
The tests were performed at Sidus’ Satellite production facility
in Cape Canaveral, Florida, using flight-like interfaces between
the satellite flight computer, S-band radio, and a KSAT Earth
Station “Suitcase” which exactly replicates the functions of KSAT
Earth Stations.
