Sidus Space, a leading provider of space and defense technology solutions, announced a strategic partnership with VORAGO Technologies to validate and integrate advanced radiation-hardened microcontroller (MCU) technology through VORAGO’s Alpha Customer Program.
This collaboration positions Sidus Space at the cutting edge of resilient systems for multi-domain operations. As part of the initiative, Sidus will evaluate and embed VORAGO’s upcoming high-performance MCU—engineered for extreme space and defense conditions—into its next-generation missions. The initiative reinforces Sidus’ commitment to delivering robust, mission-critical technologies to both government and commercial clients.
While Sidus has previously leveraged VORAGO’s MCU solutions in past projects, this partnership marks a significant evolution in their collaboration. Sidus will now play an active role in early-stage validation and system-level integration of VORAGO’s forthcoming MCU, set to be officially unveiled later this year. The joint effort aims to accelerate product development and deployment timelines, while offering valuable, real-world insights to fine-tune VORAGO’s technology for operational readiness.

“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,” said 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 gain early access to engineering samples, development resources, and hands-on technical support. The teams will collaborate closely on design validation, software/hardware integration, and in-system testing, with a shared objective of achieving production readiness 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.”
