Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU), a Space-as-a-Service satellite
company focused on commercial satellite design, manufacture,
launch, and data collection, today announced that the NASA team
successfully completed their Preliminary Design Review (PDR)
milestone on May 6th, 2022, to support the ASTRA project, selected
under NASA’s Project Polaris.
In support of NASA’s Autonomous Satellite Technology for
Resilient Applications (ASTRA) project, NASA’s Autonomous Systems
Lab (ASL) team joined with Sidus Space to integrate and demonstrate
for the first time, Mars Campaign Development (MCD) Division
(formerly Advanced Exploration Systems) derived autonomous
operations in a spaceflight environment. The demonstration expects
to provide the necessary flight heritage for an autonomous system
development platform that could be used on future deep space
missions. ASTRA plans to infuse multiple new technologies on a
Sidus-built LizzieSat-1 satellite which is scheduled to be deployed
from the International Space Station (ISS) using the SSIKLOPS
deployer.
“With ASL’s completion of the PDR milestone, our team has
increased confidence in the detailed interactions between the core
flight systems of LizzieSat and the ASTRA payload,” said Jamie
Adams, Sidus Space Chief Technology Officer. The Sidus Space and
the NASA teams are now focused on the Critical Design Review (CDR)
which is scheduled for late June 2022. “The incorporation of
autonomy and learning algorithms, and the safe demonstration on
space flight systems is a technical discriminator for long duration
missions to optimize crew and mission operators’ efficiency and
where communication latencies drive the need for real-time,
on-board system assessment,” Adams said.
LizzieSat-1, currently manifested to launch late 2022, intends
to validate the MCD-developed autonomy software (NPAS-NASA Platform
for Autonomous Systems) through on-orbit testing. The testing
expects to evaluate the autonomous operation of the satellite
imaging functions, assess the performance and behavior of the
spacecraft power systems, and support the development, integration,
testing, and operations of critical technologies for current and
future Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate
(formerly, Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate)
missions.
