This capability enables ASTRA\u2019s Primary Operations Control Center (POCC) to manage the Electrical Power System (EPS) through Sidus\u2019 Mission Control Center (MCC). As a result, the satellite\u2019s battery voltage can be continuously monitored and optimized, ensuring that the payload operates normally even in less-than-ideal solar conditions. The ability to dynamically manage power by activating or deactivating specific equipment based on battery charge levels and mission needs represents a crucial advancement in operational flexibility and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carol Craig, CEO of Sidus Space,<\/strong> remarked on the mission&#8217;s progress: \u201cWith the successful completion of ASTRA\u2019s primary mission objective in early July, we now look forward to the opportunity to provide further support for this historical NASA Stennis mission. We anticipate the execution of the additional requirements to be mutually beneficial by optimizing satellite performance and ensuring operational continuity under varied and even adverse conditions. This contract with NASA exemplifies our dedication to advancing space technology through innovation and rigorous execution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sidus Space, a provider of end-to-end precision Space Infrastructure solutions that include satellite Data-as-a-Service on its proprietary on-orbit platform, is pleased to announce the award of a follow on contract from NASA Stennis for additional ASTRA (Autonomous Satellite Technology for Resilient Applications)&nbsp;support aboard LizzieSat-1.
