Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU), (the “Company” or “Sidus”), an innovative space and defense technology company, today announced the successful on-orbit operation of its Automatic Identification System (AIS) sensor onboard LizzieSat®-3. The AIS sensor receives real-time maritime vessel information from around the globe, including ship identification, position, and navigation data, advancing the company’s strategy to fuse multi-sensor satellite data with onboard artificial intelligence for next-generation intelligence solutions.

With captured AIS data, Sidus can combine vessel tracking with additional satellite sensor data to create a more complete and dynamic view of activity across the maritime domain and beyond. Together with the deployment of advanced software and the proven performance of Sidus’ FeatherEdge™ onboard Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning edge computer, this capability increases the value of the LizzieSat® satellite constellation and distinguishes Sidus by delivering an integrated hardware-software-data solution.

“Our smart vertically integrated model, spanning hardware, software, and data, positions Sidus to adapt at the pace of technology,” said Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus Space. “By combining advanced satellite sensors, onboard Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning edge computing, and autonomous operations, we’re preparing to deliver actionable intelligence faster and more efficiently. This integration not only differentiates us from competitors but also ensures we can evolve with our customers’ needs in an increasingly dynamic space and defense environment.”

This milestone strengthens Sidus’ position as a U.S. satellite manufacturer, proven space and defense component supplier and end-to-end mission provider. By continuing to expand its technology offerings, Sidus is enhancing supply chain resilience, accelerating adaptability, and delivering mission-critical capabilities that set the company apart across defense, commercial, and environmental markets.
