Sidus Space announced the unveiling of a near real-time vessel detection and classification capability, enabled by its hybrid 3D printed LizzieSat® satellite platform. This solution processes data directly onboard LizzieSat® through the Sidus Orlaith™ AI Ecosystem, which includes FeatherEdge™ edge computing hardware and OrbitfyEdge software from Little Place Labs.

Sidus and Little Place Labs (LPL) formed a strategic partnership in January 2025 to develop integrated satellite solutions based on edge computing and AI applications. This collaboration aims to provide accurate vessel detection and classification within one hour of satellite observation.

The solution not only detects and classifies vessels but also cross-references onboard AIS data to identify 'dark' vessels engaged in illegal activities. These insights will be delivered in near real-time, supporting rapid response to maritime security threats and supply chain disruptions, with initial deployments focusing on high-density maritime corridors.
