Sidus Space Enables Little Place Labs Near Real-Time Maritime Intelligence with LizzieSat®-Powered Vessel Detection Solution
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., April 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) (the "Company" or "Sidus"), an innovative, agile space mission enabler, today announced the unveiling of near real-time vessel detection and classification capability to be enabled by its hybrid 3D printed LizzieSat® satellite platform. Processing data directly onboard LizzieSat® through Sidus Orlaith™ AI Ecosystem, which includes FeatherEdge™ edge computing hardware, and the OrbitfyEdge software from Little Place Labs, represents a significant advancement in space-based maritime intelligence.
In January 2025, Sidus and Little Place Labs (LPL) formed a strategic partnership and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop integrated satellite solutions based on edge computing and AI applications. This collaboration aims to meet the growing needs of a global customer base and is expected to provide accurate vessel detection and classification within one hour of satellite observation.
By processing data directly onboard LizzieSat® satellites, OrbitfyEdge is expected to eliminate the delays traditionally associated with downlinking and ground-based analysis. This solution not only detects and classifies vessels but also cross-references onboard AIS (Automatic Identification System) data to identify or flag "dark" vessels engaged in illegal activities such as piracy or illegal fishing. The insights will be delivered in near real-time, supporting rapid response to maritime security threats and supply chain disruptions.
"We are excited to support Little Place Labs in delivering near real-time maritime intelligence through our LizzieSat® constellation," said Jim Larson, Sidus Space Senior Vice President of AI Strategic Initiatives. "By enabling edge processing in orbit with our FeatherEdge™ onboard edge computing hardware, we're reducing the time from data capture to actionable insight, which is critical for operations where every minute counts. This collaboration underscores our commitment to advancing space-based AI and making satellite data more immediate and impactful."
Each LizzieSat® satellite is equipped with Sidus' proprietary Orlaith™ AI Ecosystem, which features the FeatherEdge™ onboard edge computer for data processing and analysis, and Cielo™ software for space-based data and insights. Combined with LPL Orbitfy, these integrated capabilities support the delivery of high-speed, near real-time maritime intelligence. This solution reduces latency and ensures resilient, low-latency data relay via inter-satellite links. Initial deployments will focus on high-density maritime corridors, with expanded capabilities planned as additional LizzieSat® satellites are launched.
"This launch is expected to bring us closer to our goal of delivering near real-time insights from orbit—especially critical for time-sensitive maritime operations, where faster decisions, better transparency, and improved security can make a real difference," said Bosco Lai, CEO of Little Place Labs. "The combined capabilities of Little Place Labs and Sidus Space are changing how space-based insights are delivered, unlocking use cases that were not possible before."
