Sidus Space completed the design phase of its FeatherEdge 248Vi edge computer, a next‑generation processor for its Orlaith AI ecosystem.
The 248Vi, built on NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, delivers roughly 2.5 times the AI compute power of the FeatherEdge 100i and quadruples its memory capacity, while keeping size, weight, power, and cost comparable to the 100i. The 100i uses 8 GB of LPDDR4 memory and 1.5 TFLOPS of compute; the 248Vi offers 32 GB of LPDDR5 and 3.75 TFLOPS. Both modules measure 200 mm × 200 mm, weigh 0.5 kg, and consume 10 W.
The new processor is slated for delivery in early Q2 2026 and can be sold as a standalone module or integrated into Sidus’s Fortis Maxima suite, which includes a single‑board computer, GPS receiver, and software‑defined radio.
Sidus’s strategy focuses on higher‑margin, recurring data‑as‑a‑service and dual‑use products. The 248Vi is positioned to meet growing demand for on‑orbit edge computing in commercial and defense markets.
In Q1 2024, Sidus reported revenue of $1.05 million and a net loss of $3.8 million, with a gross profit margin of 8% compared with 40% in Q1 2023, reflecting the company’s transition to higher‑value offerings.
