Sidus Space Expands Partnership with Lonestar Data Holdings for Additional Orbital Data Payload

Apr 16, 2026
Sidus Space has expanded its agreement with Lonestar Data Holdings to build and deliver another StarVault orbital data storage payload, extending its role in the first commercially operational space-based data storage service.

Cape Canaveral-based Sidus Space has expanded its existing agreement with Lonestar Data Holdings to build and deliver an additional StarVault orbital data storage payload, announced in a press release.

The new agreement extends Sidus Space’s role in supporting the world’s first commercially operational space-based sovereign data storage service. The company is already developing the first StarVault payload, scheduled to launch no earlier than fall 2026 aboard LizzieSat-4 (LS-4). The additional payload will expand the StarVault network as Lonestar continues scaling its orbital data storage architecture.

Sidus Space said the expanded collaboration reflects its ability to handle increasingly complex payload integrations and to deliver scalable, flight-proven satellite hardware for commercial, government, and defense applications.
