FeatherEdge Computing System to Enhance Rapid
Fire Detection Capabilities in Collaborative NASA Project
Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), a
provider of end-to-end precision Space Infrastructure solutions
that include satellite Data-as-a-Service on its proprietary
on-orbit platform, announces the sale of its FeatherEdge onboard
computing system to Xiomas Technologies as part of a groundbreaking
project aimed at revolutionizing fire detection. This collaborative
effort, involving Sidus Space, Xiomas Technologies, NASA, and
Harvard University, will demonstrate rapid fire detection
capabilities using a stratospheric balloon platform.
The FeatherEdge system, purchased by Xiomas Technologies, will
be pivotal in processing high-resolution thermal images captured by
Xiomas’ advanced infrared sensor. FeatherEdge will perform critical
edge computing tasks, compressing raw data into smaller, actionable
analytics for efficient transmission to ground stations to
demonstrate the ability to deliver crucial information quickly even
when bandwidth might be limited.
The FeatherEdge system will generate essential data, including
the location, size, and intensity of detected heat signatures,
which will be packaged into compact packets for near real-time
transmission. The stratospheric balloon is scheduled for launch in
October 2024, marking a significant advancement in the development
of rapid-fire detection technologies.
“This sale underscores our commitment to leveraging space-based
technologies for critical Earth applications,” said Carol Craig,
CEO of Sidus Space. “By integrating FeatherEdge with Xiomas’
infrared sensor, we’re not just selling a product; we’re providing
a solution that could significantly enhance fire detection
capabilities for firefighting agencies and disaster response teams
globally. We’re excited about the potential this project has to
open new doors within NASA and the broader fire prevention
community.”
This project highlights the advanced capabilities of Sidus
Space’s technology and positions the company for future
opportunities in both governmental and commercial sectors. By
showcasing the efficiency and effectiveness of Sidus’ low-latency
data processing capabilities, this mission sets the stage for
further integration of similar technologies in upcoming space
missions.
