Sidus Space launches LizzieSat-2
On December 23, Sidus Space announced the successful launch and deployment of LizzieSat-2 into low Earth orbit as part of the Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission with SpaceX, which launched on December 21, 2024 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The successful deployment of LizzieSat-2, less than nine months after the launch of LizzieSat-1, underscores Sidus Space’s ability to rapidly expand its on-orbit presence while demonstrating the viability and adaptability of its modular satellite design, according to the company. Scalable to larger satellites and more complex missions, including lunar operations, LizzieSat-2 highlights the flexibility of Sidus’ platform to meet evolving customer needs. By integrating advanced sensors and on-orbit processing capabilities, LizzieSat-2 exemplifies the efficiency and innovation that define Sidus Space’s approach to delivering scalable, real-time data solutions for applications such as Space Situational Awareness (SSA), maritime monitoring and disaster response.
“This successful launch of LizzieSat-2 reflects our team’s dedication to Space Access Reimagined, advancing space technology and delivering innovative, cost-effective solutions to our customers,” said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space. “With LizzieSat-2 now on-orbit and LizzieSat-3 slated for launch in Q1 2025, we are significantly enhancing our on-orbit capabilities and reaffirming our commitment to providing scalable, real-time space-based data services.”
