Sidus Space has confirmed the successful launch and deployment of its LizzieSat-3 satellite into Low Earth Orbit (LEO), reinforcing the company's growing multi-satellite network. This latest satellite was launched on March 14th aboard SpaceX's Transporter-13 rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. LizzieSat-3 now joins its predecessors, LizzieSat-1 and LizzieSat-2, which were deployed in March and December of 2024, respectively. Together, these satellites form an expanding constellation designed to deliver near real-time data services powered by advanced artificial intelligence.

"We've successfully launched three hybrid, additively manufactured satellites equipped with advanced AI edge-computing capabilities in just 12 months, solidifying our position as a leader in space technology, artificial intelligence, and innovation. This achievement highlights our rapid response capabilities, as well as our expertise in delivering groundbreaking solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible in space," said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space. "Combined with our commitment to providing low-cost, efficient solutions, we're uniquely positioned to support a diverse range of space and defense missions with unparalleled performance. We continue to demonstrate our ability to innovate, execute, and lead in ways that are transforming the future of space exploration and defense."

LizzieSat-3 represents a significant advancement in Sidus Space's efforts to deliver real-time data services to clients across government, defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors. Equipped with a suite of sophisticated sensors and the latest version of the company's proprietary Sidus Orlaith AI platform, the satellite enables on-orbit data processing for a range of mission-critical functions, including Space Situational Awareness (SSA), maritime surveillance, and disaster response.

The Sidus Orlaith AI Platform leverages the power of FeatherEdge GEN 2, a next-generation edge computer featuring the NVIDIA Jetson NX Orin module, which delivers processing speeds of up to 100 Trillion Operations per Second (TOPS). This highly capable, space-rated system is engineered to perform complex data analytics directly in orbit, ensuring rapid delivery of insights without the delays associated with ground-based processing.

By enabling autonomous, in-space data handling and minimizing reliance on terrestrial computing infrastructure, Sidus Orlaith significantly reduces latency in time-sensitive operations. The system also incorporates real-time algorithm updates and a space-to-space data relay capability, enhancing the satellite's ability to deliver critical data directly to users with unprecedented speed.

As Sidus Space expands its satellite fleet and continues designing and manufacturing satellites for other clients, its integration of AI-driven analytics and decision-making cements its position at the forefront of space and defense technology innovation.
