The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, known as TNO, has awarded a $2.5 million contract to a satellite and space defense manufacturer Sidus Space.

On February 15 Sidius Space announced, "We are honored to be selected by TNO as its mission partner for the HemiCAT technology," said Carol Craig, Sidus Space Founder and CEO. "This partnership will allow us to demonstrate further versatility of our LizzieSat platform and advance our mission of 'Bringing Space Down to Earth' while continuing to expand our reach into the international satellite market."

"This HemiCat is an important new technology and we look forward to working with Sidus to launch and test HemiCAT as a pathfinder for future laser satellite communication systems," Michiel Ringers, TNO Business Development Manager stated.

"The Sidus team offered the best turnkey solution, designing, building, and deploying flight heritage hardware for demanding applications - the perfect combination of expertise and capabilities we look for in a partner."

Under the multi-million dollar contract, Sidius will integrate, deploy, operate, and test TNO's HemiCAT, a high-efficiency miniature laser communications technology, aboard Sidius' hybrid 3D-printed satellite LizzieSat. The in-orbit demonstration mission is part of a study of Dutch defense technology.
