Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIDU) announced that it has secured approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate a micro constellation of remote sensing satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This regulatory clearance marks a significant step forward in the company's plan to broaden its orbital presence and provide versatile, cost-efficient data acquisition services through its data-as-a-service model. Sidus retains ownership of the data collected via its LizzieSat sensors for all missions, ensuring clients have direct access to valuable data streams.

The FCC authorization covers LizzieSat 2 through 5, allowing Sidus to expand its operations beyond the inaugural LizzieSat-1 mission. This approval aligns with the company's long-term vision to establish itself as a key enabler in space missions, offering enhanced situational awareness for government, defense, intelligence, and commercial users worldwide.

"We are thrilled to receive this key FCC approval, which allows us to further expand our on-orbit presence and offer our customers a seamless combination of hosted payload capabilities and data services," said Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus Space. "This milestone underscores the value of our data-as-a-service model, providing clients not only with payload hosting and on-orbit AI enhanced processing, but also with continuous data streams to meet their operational needs. Additionally, with Sidus' ownership of the data collected by our LizzieSat sensors, we offer a unique proposition for customers looking for comprehensive and reliable data solutions."

As part of the LizzieSat 2 and 3 missions, Sidus will host the HEO's Holmes Imager payload, which is designed to capture detailed images of satellites and space debris in orbit. In addition to payload hosting, Sidus will provide HEO with monthly data services.

This FCC approval represents a substantial advancement for Sidus Space, enhancing its capacity to deliver expanded real-time, space-based data solutions across various industries.
