Business Wire
Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), a
Space and Data-as-a-Service satellite company, today announced that
it has received its ASTRA (Autonomous Satellite Technology for
Resilient Applications) Flight Software Version 1.0 and ASTRA
flight hardware from NASA Stennis and installed it on the Company’s
LizzieSat™ satellite ahead of its first quarter 2024 SpaceX
Transporter 10 launch.
NASA Stennis has completed its Flight Readiness Review in
preparation for the 2024 launch and will be one of six payloads
aboard LizzieSat. In preparation for the next operational phase of
on-orbit testing, ASTRA software has been loaded onto ASTRA Flight
Hardware and delivered to Sidus for installation aboard
LizzieSat.
When the satellite launches in 2024, the NASA Stennis Autonomous
Systems Laboratory team will send targeted satellite operations
commands for its ASTRA Flight Software to perform via the Sidus
flight computer. The initial version of the software includes
vehicle systems management capabilities, as well as the ability to
update software versions and add capabilities during the mission,
which could last more than two years.
“The integration of the NASA Stennis ASTRA software will provide
us with the necessary flight heritage for future deep space
missions, and we are excited to begin this process,” stated Carol
Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus. “This is an important step for the
two organizations and the industry as a whole as we step further
into space and beyond.”
“This is a significant achievement,” said Stennis Center
Director Dr. Rick Gilbrech. “This will be the first time NASA
Stennis has flown software to space, and we are excited to join
Sidus Space for this mission. It is a great opportunity to
demonstrate the capabilities of the NASA Stennis software, as well
as the center’s autonomous systems team.”
