The agreement is set to significantly increase the global network of ground stations for the LizzieSat™ constellation and further solidify Sidus Space's position as a leader in Space and Defense-as-a-Service solutions.

ATLAS Space Operations provides Ground Software as a Service™ (GSaaS) to manage satellite communications through a global antenna network. ATLAS utilizes Freedom™ Software along with their global federated antenna network, to provide end-to-end monitoring of all assets.

"We are excited to work together with their team of experts to nearly double our daily coverage capabilities."

The increased daily coverage is expected to reduce latency between image collection and downlink, enabling critical data transfer more quickly than ever before.
