Sidus Space, a US-based space and satellite technology company, has selected Atomic-6 to supply solar PV arrays for its LizzieSat satellite platform. The selection advances a $120 million agreement with Lonestar Data Holdings to deploy a cislunar data storage constellation. According to Sidus Space, Atomic-6 will provide Light Wing solar PV arrays, which are redeployable, all-composite systems with a power-to-mass ratio of up to 200 W/kg. These arrays were selected following a technical and business assessment to provide the efficiency, reliability, and resilience necessary for lunar orbit. Sidus Space stated that the solar arrays will provide uninterrupted power for the satellites flying in adverse deep-space environments. The LizzieSat platform is designed for scalable deployment above low Earth orbit to enable secure, tamper-resistant data storage. This comes after Sidus Space and Lonestar Data Holdings signed an updated preliminary agreement in March 2025.
