Sidus Space Inc (NASDAQ:SIDU) has provided an update on its Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) software and hardware for space applications expansion, saying it has successfully integrated AI hardware and software into its LizzieSat satellite design.
The Space and Defense-as-a-Service satellite firm said the new AI software gives Sidus the ability to offer on-orbit tailored solutions to a broader range of customers by providing the resources and expertise to process geospatial data more effectively.
"We have created solutions for customers who were formerly unable to access the kind of technology and the information provided by traditional satellites," Sidus Space CEO Carol Craig said in a statement.
"At the same time, we created internal value that will be realized on our own LizzieSats as we plan deployment of satellites over the next two years," she added.
Sidus noted the integration of AI/ML into the company’s existing offerings enhances and strengthens Sidus’ mission to advance satellite technology and expand its solutions for customers.
It added that offering rich datasets through LizzieSat satellites means that customers are able to receive significant amounts of big data in a user-friendly format.
As well, Sidus stated that its AI team is preparing to launch the user-friendly platform, which has been developed as an easy access point for customers to visualize their data and interact with it as a way to help them make decisions.
The solution integrates with the ESRI platform, which is recognized as a global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, location intelligence, and mapping, according to the company.
Sidus also said the integration allows its data subscripts to access highly customized analytics that are displayed and overlaid on any ESRI basemap or other Geographic Information System (GIS) toolsets.
Sidus Space is a Space and Defense-as-a-Service satellite company focused on mission-critical hardware manufacturing; multi-disciplinary engineering services; satellite design, production, launch planning, mission operations; and in-orbit support.
