Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) has announced the successful on-orbit operation of its advanced onboard edge computer, the FeatherEdge GEN-2, integrated into the commissioning of LizzieSat-3 (LS-3). This milestone confirms the system's readiness for commercial use, offering 100 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI processing power in a compact, space-hardened design. Built on NVIDIA's Jetson Orin NX module, the FeatherEdge GEN-2 is optimized for the harsh conditions of low Earth orbit, enabling high-performance AI computing for a wide range of applications.

"We are excited to share that FeatherEdge GEN-2 is fully operational onboard LizzieSat-3," said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space. "What sets this technology apart is its broad market applicability. While designed for space, FeatherEdge GEN-2 has the potential to drive revenue across multiple domains-including defense, intelligence, maritime, aviation, and terrestrial remote sensing-by enabling near real-time data processing at the edge."

In addition to validating the hardware's capabilities, Sidus has opened LizzieSat-3 to third-party algorithm integration, allowing customers to deploy proprietary AI solutions without the need for dedicated satellite infrastructure. This approach enables rapid technology testing and deployment for government and commercial clients alike.

As LizzieSat-3 progresses through its commissioning phase, Sidus Space aims to establish the platform as a versatile, revenue-generating asset, capable of supporting both government and commercial missions. The FeatherEdge GEN-2 is set to generate new revenue streams through hardware sales, data processing services, and technology integration, reinforcing the company's position as a key player in the rapidly expanding space economy.
