CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 18, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) ("the Company" or "Sidus"), a multi-faceted Space and Data-as-a-Service satellite company, has announced the successful demonstration of an advanced software solution supported by its FeatherEdge technology aboard its LizzieSat? satellite, which launched in March 2024 on SpaceX’s Transporter-10 mission. This innovation, achieved in collaboration with Xiomas Technologies, represents a significant milestone in the NASA-funded initiative to develop advanced thermal sensors, setting a new standard in space-based thermal sensing systems.

The FeatherEdge solution is a result of years of innovation and research enhancing the performance and precision of sensing instruments aboard satellites including thermal infrared sensors. Unlike traditional methods which rely on infrared sensors to collect data and downlink it to the ground for processing, FeatherEdge supports advanced algorithms trained on representative imagery to deliver unparalleled accuracy and reliability in thermal data acquisition and analysis.

"At Sidus Space, we are dedicated to advancing the frontiers of Space Based Data Collection" said Jeremy Allam, Vice President of AI Products. "The demonstration of FeatherEdge capabilities on LizzieSat? represents a transformative leap forward in thermal sensing, allowing us to process and analyze time critical data on orbit. This advancement empowers researchers, scientists, and decision makers with timely and precise thermal data. Every second counts when fighting fires."

The successful deployment of FeatherEdge technology on LizzieSat? underscores the efficacy of collaborative efforts between industry leaders and research institutions in driving innovation and progress in space technology. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, Sidus Space continues to spearhead efforts aimed at unlocking new possibilities in space exploration and Earth observation.
