Sidus Space to Launch LizzieSat™ Satellite with Edge AI, Hyperspectral and Multispectral Imaging on SpaceX Transporter Mission
June 07 2023 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), a
multi-faceted Space and Defense-as-a-Service satellite company,
announced today that it will launch industry leading hyperspectral
and multispectral imaging and Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) in
its LizzieSat™ satellite on SpaceX Transporter missions beginning
in 2024.
LizzieSat’s hyperspectral and multispectral imaging capability
will be provided by the Owl 1280 and Hawk 1920 HD cameras made by
Raptor Photonics. Sidus is building its space-based infrastructure
of multi-mission satellites with hyperspectral, multispectral and
other sensors to provide monitoring services and solutions to
multiple sectors and industries.
Sidus’ sub-5m ground sampling distance (GSD) multispectral SWIR,
coupled with sub-10m hyperspectral imagery capabilities provides
the Company with a competitive advantage in serving the $55.6
billion SmallSat market. Additionally, the Company’s robust ground
coverage and Edge AI accelerates the receipt of actionable data
sent to the ground by parsing key identifying information before
transmission. Sidus’ satellites are expected to circle the earth
every 95 minutes with communication gaps less than 10 minutes on
each orbit. This gap can be closed completely as additional ground
stations are secured. This provides customers with satellite access
near-real-time data transmission. “LizzieSat’s hyperspectral and
multispectral imaging capability will provide potential data
solutions for a variety of market verticals within the estimated $1
trillion space economy anticipated by 2040,” commented Carol Craig,
Founder & CEO of Sidus Space. “Key industries that will benefit
and provide markets for this imaging include agriculture, climate
change, renewables, mining, and oil and gas. We look forward to
further development of our LizzieSat constellation as we seek to
develop and provide access to space-based data on-demand for any
problem set or business need.”
The Company plans to monetize its imagery both through
previously negotiated contracts and through its agreement with
Skywatch and others to sell imagery on their storefront. This
hyperspectral and multispectral capability is also key to the
Sidus’ strategy to generate recurring revenue streams from new
customers as Sidus builds its LizzieSat constellation.
Sidus plans to launch its first LizzieSat on the SpaceX
Transporter mission scheduled for later this year and has
contracted with SpaceX to launch on four additional flights, with
two currently scheduled for 2024 and two more scheduled for 2025,
allowing the Company to establish a regular launch cadence for its
customers. The Company plans to begin offering hyperspectral and
multispectral imaging from its LizzieSats scheduled for launch on
SpaceX’s transporter mission in the first quarter of next year.
