“What sets this technology apart is its broad market applicability,” said Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space.

“While designed for space, FeatherEdge GEN-2 has the potential to drive revenue across multiple domains--including defense, intelligence, maritime, aviation, and terrestrial remote sensing--by enabling near real-time data processing at the edge,” Craig added.
