Investing.com -- Sidus Space Inc (NASDAQ:SIDU) stock gained 5.3% Thursday after the space and defense technology company announced its role as a subcontractor on a NASA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project focused on space debris tracking.
The Cape Canaveral-based company will support MobLobSpace, Inc. in a six-month design study to integrate an advanced 4D radar system aboard Sidus’ LizzieSat satellite platform. The project, valued at $173,000, aims to deliver Space Domain Awareness data services capable of tracking centimeter-scale orbital debris.
Under the agreement, Sidus Space will provide expertise on host spacecraft specifications, including power and Guidance, Navigation, and Control systems to ensure proper integration of the radar payload. The company has also received an additional Technical and Business Assistance award to analyze scaling requirements for a potential constellation deployment.
"Partnering with MobLobSpace to host advanced radar technology aboard LizzieSat represents a significant step toward improving space situational awareness and mitigating collision risks," said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space.
The collaboration will leverage LizzieSat’s versatile platform capabilities alongside MobLobSpace’s radar technology to develop solutions for the growing challenge of orbital debris tracking. Charlton Shackleton, Co-Founder of MobLobSpace, noted that "LizzieSat’s design provides the flexibility needed to support this capability."
This project aligns with NASA’s Space Sustainability Strategy programs, which aim to enhance the safety and longevity of space operations as orbital congestion continues to increase.
