Sidus Space to host SOLAR MEMS star tracker on June SpaceX mission

Sidus Space announced it will host a star tracker developed by SOLAR MEMS on its fourth planned LizzieSat mission, currently scheduled to launch with SpaceX in June of next year. “Including SOLAR MEMS Star Tracker in our payload rideshare program is a natural fit with our emerging high-margin, recurring revenue, DaaS business, and we look forward to collaborating with SOLAR MEMS on this project.” Sidus will host the Star Tracker as a part of its payload rideshare program. This payload rideshare is available for customers to launch and test their own technology aboard Sidus’ satellites. As a part of the program, Sidus will provide space aboard its LizzieSat satellite, along with launch support, testing, and the ability to conduct experiments over the expected five-year timeline of the mission, with the goal of evaluating the Star Tracker’s capabilities for the broader satellite sensor market.
