LizzieSat™-2 was designed and manufactured at Sidus Space’s state-of-the-art facility on Florida’s Space Coast. The satellite is equipped with an advanced sensor suite that includes AIS, multi-spectral methane detection, and high-resolution visual spectrum sensors, as well as the HEO Holmes Imager, provided by HEO (USA), a subsidiary of Australian-based HEO. The Holmes Imager is a cutting-edge technology that powers HEO Inspect, an in-orbit satellite inspection platform designed for non-Earth imaging (NEI) and the precise characterization of space objects. LizzieSat™-2 will provide data through a monthly subscription contract for HEO, further demonstrating Sidus Space’s role as a leading provider of multi-mission space-based data solutions.
Leveraging Sidus’ proprietary FeatherEdge™ AI processor, LizzieSat™-2 will enable on-orbit data processing for actionable insights, supporting applications such as Space Situational Awareness (SSA), non-Earth Imaging, maritime monitoring, environmental assessments and disaster response.
