PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS
Subject
to completion, dated December 23, 2024
Sidus
Space, Inc.
10,229,838
Shares of Class A Common Stock
Pursuant
to this prospectus, the selling stockholders identified herein (the “Selling Stockholders”) are offering on a resale basis
an aggregate of 10,229,838 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common
stock”) of Sidus Space, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) consisting of:
(i) 5,657,090 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into by and
between us and each of the Selling Stockholders dated December 17, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”); (ii) 1,162,802 shares
of Class A common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded
Warrants”) issued to certain of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (iii) 3,409,946 shares of Class
A common stock (the “Common Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Common
Warrants” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement.
The
above referenced securities were issued to the investors in reliance upon the exemption from the registration contained in Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. We
are registering the offer and resale of the Shares to satisfy the provisions of the registration rights agreement by and between us and
each of the Selling Stockholders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) in connection with the Purchase Agreement, pursuant
to which we agreed to register the resale of the Shares.
We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the Shares. Upon any exercise of the Warrants by payment
of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants, which, if exercised in cash with respect to the 1,162,802 Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares and the 3,409,946 Common Warrant Shares, would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $116 and $7.7 million,
respectively. However, we cannot predict when and in what amounts or if the Warrants will be exercised by payments of cash and it is
possible that the Warrants may expire and never be exercised, in which case we would not receive any cash proceeds.
The
Selling Stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer the Shares from time to time through public or private transactions at fixed
prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined
at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The registration of the Shares on behalf of the Selling Stockholders; however, does not
necessarily mean that any of the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell their Shares under this registration statement or at any time
in the near future. We provide more information about how the selling stockholders may sell their Shares in the section entitled “Plan
of Distribution” on page 15.
The
Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale or disposition of the Shares, or interests
therein. We will not be paying any underwriting discounts or commissions in this offering. We will pay the expenses of registering the
Shares pursuant to this prospectus.
Our
Class A common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SIDU”. On December 20, 2024, the closing price
per share of our Class A common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $3.96 per share.
We
are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to reduced public company reporting
requirements.

Company
Overview
Overview
Founded
in 2012, we are a space mission enabler that provides flexible, cost-effective solutions including custom satellite design, payload hosting,
mission management, space manufacturing and AI enhanced space-based sensor data-as-a-service for government, defense, intelligence, and
commercial companies around the globe. We are committed to rapid innovation, adaptable and cost-effective solutions, and the optimization
of space system and data collection performance.
We
offer customers a variety of mission options whether the ability to host a technology, procure a satellite bus, or simply purchase data
as a service. Our modular LizzieSat satellite, which is the first of its kind 3D printed, multi-sensor, multi-mission satellite, is a
flexible, cost-effective platform that can be easily adapted to integrate new payloads or customized and scaled to create a new satellite
design to meet mission requirements.
We
utilize our FeatherEdge AI to provide on-orbit data processing, providing more efficient and effective data delivery. We also deliver
data-as-a-service via LizzieSat sensors to provide situational awareness for a wide variety of missions including methane detection,
AIS tracking, border security, or technology characterization missions. We are able to customize the data processing to accomplish new
missions.
We
are an innovative mission collaborator with the ability to rapidly respond to change. We partner with customers to develop optimum mission
solutions to meet mission requirements and budget and collaborate with customers across the globe. Our FeatherEdge AI data processing
algorithms have the ability to be upgraded while in-orbit, which provides additional mission flexibility. We also capitalize on our vertically
integrated in-house capabilities, which include engineering, manufacturing, and mission management, to respond rapidly to mission changes.
We
have demonstrated successful manufacturing and operation of hardware and satellites in a space environment. We designed, launched, and
manage our own satellite LizzieSat, which achieved first launch mission success in March of 2024. The success of our LizzieSat is built
upon our work over the last decade, where we produced numerous flight-proven systems, platforms, devices, and hardware for other customers
including NASA, DoD, SpaceX, and Blue Origin. We are strategically headquartered on Florida’s Space Coast, which provides easy
access to nearby launch facilities, and we operate a 35,000-square-foot manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing facility which
reduces production time. We have an experienced team with expertise in multi-disciplinary engineering, mission-critical hardware manufacturing,
satellite design, production, launch planning, mission operations, and in-orbit support.
We
continue to focus on innovation and agility. In October of 2024, we received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) to operate a micro constellation of remote sensing, multi-mission satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), and we continue to enhance
the capabilities of our LizzieSat platform. Planned enhancements include:
|
●
|
VPX
open architecture with simplified assembly and integration, reduced mass, and better performance |
|
●
|
Integration
of a processor capable of handling one hundred trillion or Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS) |
|
●
|
Upgraded
payload processor with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) capable of handling payloads at high speed up to 12 Gb/s; also includes
five times more computing power and more speed with a 1.8 GHz quad core processor |
|
●
|
Up
to 4 Tb memory storage |
|
●
|
Upgraded
2nd generation FeatherEdge AI/ML product that includes an Iridium module to enable intersatellite communication for low-latency direct-to-satellite
phone message delivery. |
Our
products and services are offered through several business units: Space-as-a-Service, Space-Based Data Solutions, Artificial Intelligence/Machine
Learning (AI/ML) Products and Services, Mission Planning and Management Operations, 3D Printing Products and Services, Satellite Manufacturing
and Payload Integration, and Space and Defense Hardware Manufacturing.
Our
vertically integrated model with complementary lines of business enables us to unlock new potential revenue generating opportunities
while maintaining diversity of revenue. We are not dependent on a single line of business or customer, which provides us the “optionality”
to scale where market needs demand. This diversity mitigates risks associated with external factors like macroeconomic shifts or technological
disruptions. Our flexibility allows us to adapt swiftly to market changes, supporting growth across all our business lines.
Recent
Developments
December
2024 Private Placement
On
December 17, 2024, we completed a private placement offering of (i) 5,657,090 shares of the Class A common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants
to purchase up to 1,162,802 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and (iii) warrants (the “Common
Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,409,946 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a purchase price of $2.25 per share of Common
Stock and accompanying warrants. For additional details regarding this transaction, please refer to “Private Placement of Shares
of Class A Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants” located elsewhere in this prospectus.
November
2024 Public Offering
On
November 14, 2024, we completed a public offering of 4,520,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price of $1.25
per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,080,000 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $1.249 per
pre-funded warrant, for which we received approximately $6.1 million of net proceeds. All of these pre-funded warrants have been exercised.
ThinkEquity served as sole underwriter for the offering. On November 25, 2024, ThinkEquity elected to exercise its over-allotment option
to purchase an additional 332,700 shares of Class A common stock for which we received approximately $380,000 of net proceeds.
Launch
and Deployment of First Satellite
On
March 4, 2024, we successfully launched and deployed our first LizzieSat satellite to low Earth orbit as part of SpaceX’s Transporter-10
Rideshare mission and are managing mission operations with the satellite from our operations center in Merritt Island, Florida. Our Mission
Control Center (MCC) team provides 24/7/365 coverage to monitor every aspect of a mission, from the health and status of the satellite
or spacecraft while in orbit, to performing operational tests throughout mission lifecycle. The MCC monitors propulsion, temperature,
on-board computers, and payload status and has the capability to identify potential risks, helping ensure the success of each mission.
Additionally, our MCC establishes and maintains bidirectional communication with satellites via a network of ground stations, allowing
for the transmittal of data and imagery while on-orbit back to Earth. Our MCC is scalable to support from one spacecraft to a full constellation
of many satellites and can support customers that do not have their own mission control capabilities.
As
part of LizzieSat operations we successfully completed an on-orbit autonomous systems demonstration mission for NASA Stennis. This marks
the first time NASA Stennis has ever flown a payload into space, recognized as a historic milestone by the NASA Stennis Center Director.
We were contracted by NASA to not only integrate and fly the technology but to handle launch and satellite activation and on-board data
collection. Once the primary mission objectives were completed, NASA provided Sidus Space with additional funding to complete new critical
objectives over the course of the next 12 months.
During
this mission we also demonstrated FeatherEdge’s ability to upload new algorithms post-launch, run a machine vision algorithm on
the hardware accelerator capable of processing data 300 times faster than a standard CPU, and to downlink health and status data to our
Sidus Mission Control Center in Merritt Island, FL. Our Google-powered AI processor sets the groundwork for substantial upgrades on future
launches, which is expected to include NVIDIA-powered AI accelerators with 25x more computing power than our previous version of FeatherEdge,
resulting in what we believe will be the highest performance edge computing capability on orbit.
March
2024 Public Offering
On
March 5, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,321,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price
of $6.00 per share, for which we received approximately $7,100,000.00 of net proceeds. ThinkEquity served as sole underwriter for the
offering.
January
2024 Public Offering
On
January 29, 2024, we completed a public offering of 1,181,800 shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price of $4.50

website address is www.sidusspace.com. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus,
and you should not consider any information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website as part of this prospectus or
in deciding whether to purchase our Class A common stock.
Implications
of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As
a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenues during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined
in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) enacted in 2012. As an emerging growth company, we expect to take
advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not
limited to:
|
● |
being
permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements,
with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
disclosure in this prospectus; |
|
|
|
|
● |
not
being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley
Act”); |
|
|
|
|
● |
reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and
|
|
|
|
|
● |
exemptions
from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute
payments not previously approved. |
We
may use these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public
offering. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated
filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year
period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.
The
JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised
accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with
new or revised accounting standards as permitted by The JOBS Act.
To
the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as
an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (i) not being required to comply
with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures;
and (iii) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain
a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities,
you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed within this prospectus. and the risk factors discussed in the section entitled
“Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and incorporated herein by
reference. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our
SEC filings or this prospectus or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline and
you might lose all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to this Offering
You
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible
into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may
sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by any investors
in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders.
The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Class A common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class
A common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investors in this offering.
The
Selling Stockholders are selling a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in this offering, which could cause the price
of our Class A common stock to decline.
In
this offering, the Selling Stockholders are offering shares of Class A common stock. The existence of the potential additional shares
of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that such additional shares may be in the market, could adversely
affect the price of our Class A common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Class A common
stock or the availability of those shares of Class A common stock for sale will have on the market price of our Class A common stock.
Sales
of a substantial number of our shares of Class A common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could
cause our stock price to fall.
We
may issue and sell additional shares of Class A commons stock in the public markets, including during this offering. As a result, a substantial
number of our shares of Class A common stock may be sold in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of our shares of Class A
common stock in the public markets, including in connection with this offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could
depress the market price of our Class A common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
A
possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of our Class A common stock that largely exceeds supply may lead
to price volatility in our common stock.
Investors
may purchase our Class A common stock to hedge existing exposure in our Class A common stock or to speculate on the price of our Class
A common stock. Speculation on the price of our Class A common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short
exposure exceeds the number of shares of our Class A common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure
may have to pay a premium to repurchase our Class A common stock for delivery to lenders of our Class A common stock. Those repurchases
may in turn, dramatically increase the price of our Class A common stock until investors with short exposure can purchase additional
common stock to cover their short position. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to
volatile price movements in our Class A common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our Class A
common stock and once investors purchase the shares of Class A common stock necessary to cover their short position the price of our
Class A common stock may decline.
Because
we do not currently intend to declare cash dividends on our shares of Class A common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders must
rely on appreciation of the value of our Class A common stock for any return on their investment.
We
have never paid cash dividends on our Class A common stock and do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the near future. We currently
intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the operation, development and growth of our business. Furthermore, any
future debt agreements may also preclude us from paying or place restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. As a result, capital appreciation,
if any, of our Class A common stock will be your sole source of gain with respect to your investment for the foreseeable future.
The
dual-class structure of our common stock as contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, has the effect
of concentrating voting influence with those stockholders who held our Class B common stock prior to our initial public offering. This
ownership could limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our
organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transactions
requiring stockholder approval, and that may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock.
Our
Class B Common Stock has ten votes per share, and our Class A Common Stock, which is the class of common stock that we are selling in
this offering, has one vote per share. Craig Technical Consulting, Inc., or CTC, of which Carol Craig, our Chairwoman and Chief executive
Officer is the sole owner, holds all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 9.0%
of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock as of December 23, 2024. In addition, because of the ten-to-one voting ratio between
our Class B and Class A Common Stock, after this offering the holder of our Class B Common Stock could continue to influence the outcome
of such corporate actions requiring stockholder approval including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents
and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transactions requiring stockholder
approval. In addition, this influence may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that
you may feel are in your best interest as one of our stockholders. As a result, it may adversely affect the market price of our Class
A Common Stock. If CTC continues to hold its shares of our Class B common stock, it could continue to influence these actions for an
extended period of time or indefinitely.
Future
transfers by holders of Class B Common Stock will generally result in those shares converting to Class A Common Stock, subject to limited
exceptions as specified in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, such as transfers to family members and certain transfers
effected for estate planning purposes. The conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock will have the effect, over time,
of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class B Common Stock who retain their shares in the long term. As a result,
it is possible that one or more of the persons or entities holding our Class B Common Stock could gain significant voting control as
other holders of Class B Common Stock sell or otherwise convert their shares into Class A Common Stock.
The
exercise of our outstanding options and warrants will dilute stockholders and could decrease our stock price.
The
exercise of our outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect our stock price due to sales of a large number of shares or the
perception that such sales could occur. These factors also could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our
securities and could adversely impact the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital. Exercise of outstanding options
and warrants or any future issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock or other securities, including, but not limited to preferred
stock, options, warrants, restricted stock units or other derivative securities convertible into our Class A common stock, may result
in significant dilution to our stockholders and may decrease our stock price.
We
are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange,
our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and
it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Although
our Class A common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s
minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market
for our Class A common stock does not develop or is sustained, our Class A common stock may remain thinly traded.
The
listing rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any
reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its
exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may
occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:
|
● |
the
liquidity of our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
market price of our common stock; |
|
|

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for

we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation
to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual
results or to changes in our expectations.
You
should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and
events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the Shares. Upon any exercise of the Warrants by payment
of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants, which, if exercised in cash with respect to the 1,162,802 Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares and the 3,409,946 Common Warrant Shares, would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $116 and $7.7 million,
respectively. However, we cannot predict when and in what amounts or if the Warrants will be exercised by payments of cash and it is
possible that the Warrants may expire and never be exercised, in which case we would not receive any cash proceeds.
PRIVATE
PLACEMENT OF SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND/OR PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS AND WARRANTS
On
December 17, 2024, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with each of the Selling Stockholders for the issuance and sale
for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of (i) 5,657,090 shares of the Company’s
Class A common stock, (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,162,802 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise
price of $0.0001 per share and (iii) Common Warrants to purchase up to 3,409,946 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock,
at a purchase price of $2.25 per share of Common Stock and accompanying warrants.
The
Common Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $2.25 per share and have a term of exercise equal to
five and one-half years from the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time
until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants or Common Warrants (together with its affiliates)
may not exercise any portion of a warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder
9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise.
In
connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
dated as of December 17, 2024, with each of the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which we agreed to prepare and file a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale of the Shares no later than 10 days
after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to use reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective
as promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event no later than 45 days following the closing date (or 60 days following the closing
date in the event of a “full review” by the SEC).
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
Shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders, and those issuable to the Selling
Stockholders, upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those securities, see “Private
Placement of Shares of Class A Comm Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants” above. We are registering the Shares in order
to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the Shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of Common
Stock, or as otherwise set forth herein the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three
years.
The
table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A common stock
by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by each
Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of our Class A common stock as of December 23, 2024, assuming exercise of the
Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversion.
The
third column lists the shares of Class A common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders.
In
accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale
of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Class A common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders in the “Private Placement of
Shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants” described above and (ii) the maximum number of shares of
Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the related Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Pre-Funded
Warrants and Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially
filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment
as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants. The fourth column
assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants held by Selling Stockholders, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise any such warrants
to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially
own a number of shares of Class A common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Class A common
stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of
such warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The
selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES BEING OFFERED
The
following description is a summary of some of the terms of our securities, our organizational documents and Delaware law. The descriptions
in this prospectus of our securities and our organizational documents do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified
in their entirety by reference to, our organizational documents, copies of which have been or will be filed or incorporated by reference
as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus form a part.
Class
A Common Stock
We
are authorized to issue up to a total of 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Holders of our Class
A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of our Class
A common stock have no cumulative voting rights. All shares of Class A common stock offered hereby will, when issued, be fully paid and
nonassessable, including shares of Class A common stock issued upon the exercise of Class A common stock warrants or subscription rights,
if any.
Further,
holders of our Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. Upon our liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up, holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and
the liquidation preferences of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any
outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared
from time to time by our Board of Directors out of our assets which are legally available.
The
holders of a majority of the shares of our capital stock, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business at any meeting. If a quorum is present, an action by stockholders entitled to vote on a matter is approved
if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, with the exception of
the election of directors, which requires a plurality of the votes cast.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Each
Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any
or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
|
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
● |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
|
● |
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
● |
privately
negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
● |
settlement
of short sales; |
|
|
|
|
● |
in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated
price per security; |
|
|
|
|
● |
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in
excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or
markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2121.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan
or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the
delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company
has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act. The Company shall not be responsible for any of the Selling Stockholders’ selling costs incurred pursuant to
any available method provided hereunder for selling securities.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders
without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for
the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule
of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable
state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered
or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is
complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M,
prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the
common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders
and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including
by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the issuance of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP,
New York, NY. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers or agents, by counsel that we will name
in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item
15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders
for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to
act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a
stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides
that no director of the Company shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination
or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section
145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or
a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in
related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation,
no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
DGCL. We will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become,
a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee
of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being
referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against
all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify any Indemnitee
who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the
Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as
a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or who was an employee or agent
of a predecessor corporation or another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, against all expenses (including attorneys’
fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances,
he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
We
have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement
provides, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements
provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for the reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee
is not entitled to such indemnification.
We
maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out
of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, certain confidential portions of this exhibit were omitted by means of marking such portions
with an asterisk because the identified confidential portions (i) are not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly
disclosed.
Item
17. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement;
(2)
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3)
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering;
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(l)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter,
such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement
to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such effective date;
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
(8)
To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section
305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-3
to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Merritt Island, State of Florida, on the 23rd

Re:
Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel to Sidus Space, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance
of this opinion that relates to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement covers the resale, by the selling stockholders listed therein,
from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act as set forth in the Registration Statement, of an aggregate of 10,229,838
shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which consist
of (i) 5,657,090 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered
into by and between us and each of the Selling Stockholders dated December 17, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”); (ii)
1,162,802 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants issued
to certain of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”); and (iii) 3,409,946
shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrant Shares” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant
Shares”) issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants” and
together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
This
opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act,
and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement.
In
connection with the issuance of this opinion letter, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction,
of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other
representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions
stated below. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied
upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and of public officials.
In
our examination, we have assumed (a) the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, (b) the legal capacity and competency
of all natural persons, (c) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (d) the conformity to original documents
of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of
such copies; and (e) the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials.
Based
upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
1.
The Shares have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company under the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and are validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
2.
The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company under the DGCL and, when the
Warrant Shares are delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and when evidence of the issuance thereof is duly
recorded in the Company’s books and records, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
Our
opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any
other matters relating to the Company, the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Agreement or any other agreements or transactions
that may be related thereto or contemplated thereby. We are expressing no opinion as to any obligations that parties other than the Company
may have under or in respect of the Shares, the Warrant Shares or as to the effect that their performance of such obligations may have
upon any of the matters referred to above. No opinion may be implied or inferred beyond the opinion expressly stated above.
The
opinion we render herein is limited to those matters governed by the DGCL as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to revise
or supplement the opinion rendered herein should the above-referenced laws be changed by legislative or regulatory action, judicial decision,
or otherwise. We express no opinion as to whether, or the extent to which, the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply to the subject
matter hereof.
This
opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances,
events, or developments that hereafter may be brought to our attention or that may alter, affect, or modify the opinion expressed herein.
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also hereby consent to the reference to
our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit
that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the General Rules and Regulations
under the Securities Act. It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares and
the Warrants Shares being registered while the Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act.
