The spacecraft supports multiple customer payloads and readies itself for mission-specific tasks and enhancements. The team will now work on completing payload commissioning and integrating sensor packages. <h2>Autonomous Navigation And Precision</h2> SpacePilot allows LS-3 to perform precise orbital maneuvers and autonomous navigation. According to Sidus, the software improves pointing accuracy to under 30 arcseconds (~0.008 degrees), a level critical for defense and space-industry standards. Like its predecessors, LizzieSat-1 and LizzieSat-2, LS-3 continues the multi-mission architecture established by the earlier satellites. LS-3 will deliver AI-driven, on-orbit data through the Orlaith AI Platform and FeatherEdge edge computing. Its sensor suite includes high-resolution imaging and an Automatic Identification System (AIS) payload, enabling near real-time maritime vessel tracking. <h2>Strategic Vision And Future Growth</h2> Sidus plans further expansion of the LizzieSat constellation. The company expects additional satellites to launch in late 2026, boosting its capacity to provide space-based data, multi-sensor services, and on-orbit computing. This milestone reinforces Sidus' commitment to versatile, scalable space solutions. SIDU Price Action: Sidus shares are trading higher by 6.28% to $0.8450 at last check Wednesday.
