Sidus will provide continued access to LEO satellite communications systems as well as the design and manufacture of specialized marine parts as a preferred vendor to Capital C, it said.
The company also highlighted that this partnership blends Sidus’ rich manufacturing heritage with areas of strategic growth, including satellite technology and data subscriptions, as Sidus prepares to launch its proprietary, partially 3-D printed LizzieSat satellites in 2023.
Sidus CEO Carol Craig said the company was excited to establish this relationship with Capital C, a leader in sustainability, capitalizing on both its maritime experience and its growing satellite vertical.
“Being part of creating a sustainable space economy is important to us and we are particularly excited by this partnership,” she said.
Capital C founder and managing director Cindy Devina added: "Sidus’ expertise in satellite communications and space-rated engineering and manufacturing will be a key component of our sustainable approach to design and build of our Sustainable Notation Yachts."
Sidus Space, located in Cape Canaveral, Florida, operates from a 35,000-square-foot manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing facility focused on commercial satellite design, manufacture, launch, and data collection.
