CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla – November 14, 2023 —Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), a Space and Data-as-a-Service satellite company, announces its financial results and is providing a business update for the third quarter ending September 30, 2023.
“We continue to move towards the launch of LizzieSatTM in 2024, hitting critical key milestones, as well as signing key, revenue-generating contracts with customers,” said Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus. “We have developed a strong customer base who are ready to start receiving our AI-enhanced space data, that we believe will be transformative for both Sidus and the industry more broadly. As we get closer to initiating these launches, we continue to develop our high-margin revenue streams that focus on the sale of both data and payloads on these missions. We believe this will drive both revenue and profit margin over time, as well as value for our shareholders.”
