Sidus Space safeguards LizzieSat constellation with space traffic management from Neuraspace 

September 19, 2024

Sidus Space announced today, at the World Space Business Week (WSBW) conference in Paris, the signing of an agreement with Neuraspace. Under the agreement, Neuraspace will provide space traffic management (STM) and LEOP (launch and early operations) support services to Sidus, thereby enhancing the company’s constellation operation capabilities.

“This agreement is a strategic step as we prepare for the launch of our next LizzieSat satellite, which is manifested to launch later this year,” said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space. “Precise situational awareness of our on-orbit assets is imperative to delivering solutions to our customers. We believe that the high accuracy and efficiency enabled by Neuraspace’s advanced AI and ML capabilities makes them the right STM partner for Sidus.”

Neuraspace will provide Sidus with high-precision tracking and real-time conjunction screening, using a global network of ground-based sensors, including optical, radar, and laser systems. Neuraspace will also deliver accurate and timely two-line element (TLE) data and deliver refined orbit determination, to ensure positive satellite identification and safety during separation.

Dr. Chiara Manfletti, CEO of Neuraspace, said “WSBW is a tremendous platform to network and exchange ideas with industry leaders on a world stage. It was the perfect opportunity for Sidus and Neuraspace to finalise this exciting agreement. Sidus’ LizzieSat constellation will benefit from the real-time collaborative exchange that Neuraspace’s services enable between satellite operators, which is the foundation for a sustainable space infrastructure.”
