Sidus Space Inc (NASDAQ:SIDU) said it will be providing a complete guidance navigation and control solution (GN&C) for lunar satellite and lunar lander missions after signing a memorandum of understanding with an Israeli robotics company specializing in space applications, Lulav Space. 

Through the partnership, the two companies will offer a robust GN&C suite to support all lunar missions from launcher separation in LEO through trans-lunar injection, lunar capture, lunar orbiting, and landing phase with touchdown on the lunar surface.

According to Sidus, the GN&C suite has various components that can be supplied separately or together, including LEO and Cislunar GN&C algorithms; autonomous vision-based lunar orbit determination sensor; lunar landing GN&C; and vision-based landing sensor in stereo configuration.

"Lulav’s engineers played an integral role in the Beresheet 1 mission, the first private lunar lander mission, launched in 2019,” noted Sidus Space CEO Carol Craig.

“We look forward to capitalizing on this agreement to bring their next-generation GN&C solutions to the US market.”

Lulav Space CEO Noam Leiter added in a statement: “Through Sidus Space's mechanical and hardware development capabilities and extensive experience in developing space systems, we can offer any customer developing a lunar mission the fastest and most cost-effective GN&C solution on the market.”

Sidus Space is a Space and Defense-as-a-Service satellite company focused on mission-critical hardware manufacturing; multi-disciplinary engineering services; satellite design, production, launch planning, mission operations and in-orbit support.
