Sidus Aiming for Commercial LizzieSat Launches in 2024

Sidus Space anticipates launching its first two LizzieSat earth exploration satellite service satellites, LS-1 and -2, in Q4 of this year, with the first two pairs of commercial LizzieSats -- LS-3, -4, -5 and -6 -- going up potentially in February and June 2024 on successive SpaceX Transporter rideshare missions, Sidus told the FCC Space Bureau Tuesday. In an application seeking authority to launch and operate the four commercial non-geostationary orbit LizzieSats, Sidus said the eventual goal is a 100-satellite LizzieSat constellation. It said LS-1 and -2 will be technology demonstrations.
