Company
Overview

Sidus
Space® is an innovative space and defense technology company with core capabilities that include dual use satellite manufacturing
& technology integration, AI products and services, space and defense hardware components and space-based data solutions. With deep
heritage in flight-proven technologies, Sidus’ portfolio spans Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Lunar satellites,
all-domain avionics and Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) systems, Radio Frequency (RF) payloads, high-performance computing,
multi-disciplinary engineering services and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

Our
success is built on more than a decade of experience delivering flight-proven systems, platforms, devices, and hardware for customers
such as NASA, the Department of Defense (DoD), SpaceX, and Blue Origin. We are strategically headquartered on Florida’s Space Coast,
which provides easy access to nearby launch facilities, and we operate a 35,000-square-foot manufacturing, assembly, integration, and
testing facility which reduces production time. We have an experienced team with expertise in multi-disciplinary engineering, mission-critical
hardware manufacturing, satellite design, production, launch planning, mission operations, and in-orbit support.

Corporate
History:

Sidus
Space was formed out of Craig Technologies Aerospace Solutions (CTAS), which originated as the dedicated manufacturing and engineering
division of Craig Technologies, a company founded in 1999. CTAS itself was formally established in 2012 to expand Craig Technologies’
growing aerospace and defense manufacturing operations, supporting NASA, defense agencies, and commercial space companies with precision-machined
hardware, avionics assemblies, ISS flight components, and mission-critical engineering services.
