Sidus Gets LizzieSat Approvals

The FCC Space Bureau has approved Sidus Space's plans for deploying and operating its non-geostationary orbit earth exploration satellite service satellites LizzieSat-2 through -5, it said in a notice last week. Pointing to a set of SpaceX-requested license conditions, the bureau said it was adopting an on-orbit failure reporting requirement but declining other conditions. SpaceX has frequently sought similar conditions on pending satellite applications (see 2301180049).
