Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU), a vertically integrated satellite manufacturer and operator, has reached an important milestone with the successful completion of environmental testing for its LizzieSat-2 (LS-2) satellite. The company is now moving toward the launch of LS-2 into Low Earth Orbit later this year.

"The completion of environmental testing represents a crucial milestone for Sidus Space as we move towards the launch of LizzieSat-2," said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space. "This testing validates that our satellite can withstand the rigorous conditions of launch and space. I commend our team for their diligent efforts in refining our processes based on insights from our inaugural LizzieSat mission in March. We are focused on the upcoming launch and the expansion of our LizzieSat offerings, which will be a key driver of our growth strategy."

The testing, carried out by Element U.S. Space and Defense in Orlando, subjected the LS-2 satellite to rigorous random vibration tests designed to simulate launch conditions and confirm the structural integrity of the satellite. The tests demonstrated that LS-2 can endure over three times the maximum predicted launch environment while maintaining operational integrity in orbit.

"LizzieSat-1, which has been in orbit for more than 200 days since its launch in March, continues to perform well," said John Curry, Chief Mission Operations Officer. "Not all companies are fortunate to celebrate first-launch success. The Sidus team worked tirelessly to gather insights and lessons from LS-1, enabling us to swiftly implement enhancements for LS-2 to not only address increasing customer demands but expand data collection capabilities."
