LizzieSat 1 [Sidus Space]
Sidus has designed and is now building a multi-mission satellite constellation using its hybrid, 3D-printed multipurpose satellite, LizzieSat (LS), to provide continuous, near real-time Earth Observation and Internet-of-Things (IOT) data for the global space economy. The LizzieSat Satellite Constellation will consist of 100 LS satellites operating in diverse orbits between 28°-98° inclination and 300-650 km altitude.
The LizzieSat 2 (LS-2) satellite will have one experimental payload and one sensor. The first payload is an experimental 0.5U (0.5 kg) data processing unit (“DPU”) developed by Exo-Space, Inc., called “FeatherEdge.” FeatherEdge is an image-analysis device that is intended to provide onboard image processing using machine vision algorithms contained within the DPU to detect objects within its field of view. LS-2 will also host the HyperScape 100 Sensor Unit, manufactured by SimeraSense. The HyperScape 100 houses front-end electronics based on a CMOS sensor fitted with an optical filter that includes panchromatic and continuously variable hyperspectral bands. The HyperScape 100 has a frame rate of 300 fps and a ground sampling distance of 3.79 m at 400 km. The sensor is operated by Sidus and licensed by the NOAA.
