CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU) ("Sidus" or the "Company"), an innovative space and defense technology company, today announced the expansion of its existing agreement with Lonestar Data Holdings Inc. to build and deliver an additional StarVault orbital data storage payload. The amendment extends Sidus' role in enabling the world's first commercially operational space-based sovereign data storage service.
