Business Wire
Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), a
multi-faceted Space and Data-as-a-Service satellite company, today
announced that in partnership with NASA Stennis Space Center, the
primary objectives of the NASA Autonomous Satellite Technology for
Resilient Applications (“ASTRA”) payload mission were successfully
met on July 1, 2024.
Collaborating closely with the NASA Stennis Autonomous Systems
Laboratory (ASL) team, Sidus Space conducted extensive integration
and communications testing of the flight unit, making a significant
step forward in the development of autonomous systems for aerospace
applications. “The success of this first-ever in-space mission of
the NASA Stennis ASTRA payload is a historic milestone for the
center and the autonomous systems team,” said John Bailey, NASA
Stennis Center Director. “I look forward to our continued
development of autonomous systems that can support both government
and industry.”
The ASTRA mission involves an autonomous systems
hardware/software payload developed at NASA Stennis as a technology
demonstrator in space aboard the Sidus Space premier satellite,
LizzieSat™-1 (LS-1). Sidus Space is responsible for all LizzieSat™
Mission Operations, including launch and satellite activation,
which allowed the NASA Stennis ASTRA team to complete its primary
mission objectives. Following the successful completion of ASTRA
payload activation and ASTRA software remote update by the Sidus
Mission Control Center (MCC) team, the Sidus/NASA focus shifts to
on-board data collection, demonstration of ASTRA application
on-orbit capabilities, and demonstration of ASTRA automated flight
following software.
"Achieving ASTRA’s primary mission objectives underscores our
dedication and commitment to driving innovation while advancing
space technology alongside NASA, our trusted partner," said Carol
Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus Space. "We are proud to support
such groundbreaking projects in our industry and eagerly anticipate
the continued progress of our LizzieSat™-1 mission."
