Sidus Space announced the successful completion of the critical design review (CDR) for LizzieSat™ NL, a laser communication satellite contracted by The Netherlands Organization (TNO). This milestone validates the technical baseline for the satellite design.
The completion of the CDR triggers a milestone payment as part of the multimillion-dollar agreement with TNO. This achievement affirms LizzieSat™ NL’s readiness to proceed with flight-unit fabrication, assembly, system integration, and testing.
As part of the agreement, Sidus will manage all aspects of integration, deployment, and on-orbit operation for TNO's HemiCAT, a high-efficiency miniature communications laser terminal. Utilizing laser technology, this satellite will enable significantly higher bandwidth and data transfer rates, enhancing applications like persistent surveillance and Earth imaging.
