Houston, TX - April 4, 2026 - Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU) today announced the pricing of a public offering poised to significantly bolster the company's ambitious growth plans in the burgeoning satellite manufacturing and space services sector. The company will issue 6,250,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share, generating an estimated $50.0 million in gross proceeds, before accounting for standard underwriting fees and expenses. Underwriters also hold an option for an additional 937,500 shares, potentially increasing the capital raise to over $57 million.

This injection of capital arrives at a pivotal moment for Sidus Space, a vertically integrated space company focused on providing a comprehensive suite of space-based data and services. While many players in the space industry specialize in either satellite construction or data analysis, Sidus distinguishes itself by controlling the entire value chain - from design and manufacturing to launch and data delivery. This end-to-end approach allows for greater control over quality, costs, and ultimately, the ability to rapidly respond to evolving customer needs.

The announcement confirms months of strategic investment in expanding manufacturing capacity. Sidus has been aggressively positioning itself to capitalize on the dramatically increasing demand for small satellite technology. Unlike traditional, massive geostationary satellites, smaller, more agile satellites - often referred to as SmallSats or CubeSats - are driving innovation in areas like Earth observation, communications, and scientific research. Their lower cost of development and launch have democratized access to space, opening up opportunities for a wider range of organizations, including commercial enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions.

According to industry analysts at SpaceTech Insights, the SmallSat market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 12% between 2026 and 2030, reaching a market size of approximately $18 billion. This growth is fueled by factors like the increasing need for real-time data for applications like precision agriculture, disaster monitoring, and environmental analysis, as well as the proliferation of satellite-based internet services.

Sidus Space has already established a considerable backlog of contracts, demonstrating the demand for its capabilities. The company has successfully secured agreements for both satellite manufacturing and data services, including ongoing projects with the Department of Defense and several commercial partners. The newly raised funds will be primarily allocated to expanding its existing production facilities and investing in advanced manufacturing technologies, allowing the company to fulfill this backlog and pursue new opportunities.

"This financing is a critical step in accelerating our growth trajectory," stated a Sidus Space representative. "The demand for our satellites and data services is exceeding our current capacity, and this capital will enable us to scale our operations, enhance our manufacturing capabilities, and deliver innovative solutions to our customers."

The company's commitment to vertical integration extends beyond manufacturing. Sidus also operates its own launch services, further streamlining the process and reducing reliance on third-party providers. This independence provides a significant competitive advantage, allowing Sidus to offer customers a complete, turnkey solution for their space-based needs.

The offering is scheduled to close around April 11, 2026, contingent on the satisfaction of standard closing conditions. Investors will be closely watching Sidus Space's performance in the coming quarters to see how effectively it utilizes the new funding to capitalize on the expanding opportunities within the dynamic space industry. This move signals a strong vote of confidence in Sidus Space's long-term vision and its potential to become a key player in the new space economy.
