Sidus Space Partners with VORAGO Technologies to Advance Radiation-Hardened Compute Capabilities for Scalable Space and Defense Infrastructure
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU), an innovative space and defense technology company, today announced a strategic collaboration with VORAGO Technologies to validate and integrate next-generation radiation-hardened microcontroller (MCU) technology through VORAGO’s Alpha Customer Program.
We believe this partnership positions Sidus at the forefront of resilient space and defense systems, enabling the Company to test and integrate VORAGO’s new high-performance MCU, designed for operation in extreme space and defense environments, into future Sidus multi-domain missions. The collaboration supports Sidus’ mission to deliver mission-critical solutions, enabling resilient, real-time capabilities across both government and commercial sectors.
Sidus Space has previously utilized VORAGO MCUs, but will now play a pivotal role in the early validation and system-level integration of VORAGO’s future high-performance radiation-hardened microcontroller, to be announced later this year. This strategic partnership is designed to accelerate development and deployment cycles for Sidus’ next-generation platforms while providing VORAGO with real-world performance feedback to refine and optimize the technology.
“At Sidus, we focus on building systems that are not only innovative but ruggedized for the environments in which our customers operate, whether in space or in support of national defense,” Valerij Ojdanic, Chief Technology Officer at Sidus Space. “Our early collaboration with VORAGO allows us to help shape and qualify next-generation hardware that aligns with our performance standards and integration timelines.”
Through the Alpha Customer Program, Sidus will receive early access to engineering samples, development tools, and dedicated technical support. Together, the two teams will advance the microcontroller through joint design reviews, software and hardware integration, and in-system validation, with the goal of transitioning to production ready deployment by 2026.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Sidus Space, a partner that shares our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space and defense,” said Bernd Lienhard, CEO of VORAGO Technologies. “By combining our next-generation radiation-hardened microcontroller technology with Sidus’ agile and innovative platforms, we’re accelerating the deployment of resilient electronics that can thrive in the harshest conditions, enabling smarter, faster, and more capable missions.”
As Sidus continues to expand its technologies that include ruggedized high-powered onboard computer systems, AI products & services, satellite manufacturing & technology integration, and space-based data solutions, partnerships like this enhance its ability to deliver full-stack solutions that meet evolving mission needs while advancing next-generation capabilities in space.
