Sidus Space Signs Memorandum Of Understanding With
Dhruva Space
Sidus Space, Inc. recently
signed a memorandum of understanding with Dhruva
Space Private Limited to further commercialization
of new and innovative space technologies and
services.
With this partnership, Sidus
Space and Dhruva Space will explore collaborations
to support the missions of the space programs in
India and the United States through strategic
alignment and value-add agreements related to
satellites, Mission Operations Centers, Ground
Stations, space-related hardware and software, and
other technologies.
The partnership will include a
foundation of services that will support:
Each company’s individual
research and development of new space technologies,
while also pursuing space science research and
planetary exploration;
Collaboration on the fielding
of satellites and related technologies;
The discovery and expansion of
knowledge for the benefit of humanity; and
The commercialization of tested
and sustained space technologies.
The agreement will also include
the sales and marketing of manufacture, integration,
and deployment of satellites to rapidly raise the
Technology Readiness Level (TRL) for technologies
with on-orbit testing of subsystems and other
technologies in a space environment.
“Our renewed and enhanced
agreement with Dhruva Space is another significant
step towards our collective plans to design,
manufacture, deploy and support constellation-based
solutions for global commercial and government
customers. This agreement with Dhruva was just one
of the many significant customer and partner
opportunities that came out of the SATELLITE 2022
conference in March,” said Carol Craig, Sidus
CEO/Founder. “We believe this relationship with
Dhruva will significantly increase the number of
potential opportunities and customers of both
companies. With Dhruva, we look forward to meeting
our goals of bringing space down to Earth for anyone
with our turnkey solutions.”
"Following the exciting events
of Sidus Space undertaking a zero-gravity test of
our CubeSat deployer in December 2021, we look
forward to this new phase of our partnership with
Sidus Space that marks a new phase of growth and
collaboration. We look forward to aggrandizing the
Government of India's emerging and progressive Space
Policy initiatives, as the privatization of India's
Space Sector moves ahead. The continuation of the
Sidus Space-Dhruva Space partnership will engender
stronger bilateral cooperation between India's and
the United States' commercial spheres to jointly
offer Space Technology solutions for the global
market," said Sanjay Nekkanti, CEO & Co-founder,
Dhruva Space.
