Sidus Space Inc (NASDAQ:SIDU) has unveiled a video from its partner, Markforged, who is a key player in its 3D-printed LizzieSat satellites.
The Space-as-a-Service satellite company said Markforged, a renowned additive manufacturing corporation, is the innovator behind The Digital Forge—a full-spectrum industrial platform of 3D printers, software, and materials that empowers manufacturers such as Sidus Space to craft parts when and where they need them.
“Markforged 3D printers initially played an important role in our successful External Flight Test Platform (EFTP) mission, an on-orbit external experimental facility that was hosted on the NanoRacks International Space Station External Platform (NREP),” Sidus Space CEO Carol Craig said in a statement.

“Building on the success of our EFTP program, we have continued to leverage Markforged solutions in the development of LizzieSat,” Craig added.
The company noted that by leveraging Markforged 3D printers it has been able to fabricate components quickly and effectively for multiple programs, which enables Sidus Space to meet customer requirements in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Sidus Space's LizzieSat multi-purpose constellation is designed to meet the precise conditions of commercial and governmental demands in an increasingly interconnected, cloud-based, and data-driven world, according to the company.
It added that the LizzieSat platform aims to take advantage of a shift away from static and low-frequency satellite imaging and geospatial solutions toward on-demand access of real-time geospatial intelligence.
Located in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Sidus Space operates from a 35,000-square-foot manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing facility focused on commercial satellite design, manufacture, launch, and data collection.
The company has a broad range of Space-as-a-Service offerings including space-rated hardware manufacturing, design engineering, satellite manufacturing and platform development, launch and support services, data analytics services and satellite constellation management.
