CAPE CANAVERAL, FL, September 3, 2024 – Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), a provider of end-to-end precision Space Infrastructure solutions that include satellite Data-as-a-Service on its proprietary on-orbit platform, today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Lavanson (LC) Coffey as an Independent Director, effective August 27, 2024.

Carol Craig, Chairman and CEO of Sidus Space, stated “We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Coffey to the Sidus Board. With 40 years of aerospace experience and senior leadership across military, government, and commercial sectors, he brings invaluable insights and strategic direction that will help us build upon our recent commercial space successes.”

LC Coffey added “I am honored to join the Sidus team. I believe Sidus Space is on a journey that will continue to result in groundbreaking innovations and industry changing achievements. I look forward to leveraging my space industry knowledge and experience to support Sidus’ ongoing strategic growth.”

Lavanson C. Coffey III, who prefers to be called “LC,” brings nearly four decades of aerospace experience and leadership to Sidus Space. After retiring from the U.S. Air Force, LC joined Ball Aerospace, where he led the launch mission for the Intelligence Community’s first commercially procured launch vehicle. This achievement paved the way for commercial launch providers across the nation and helped the U.S. government begin realizing affordable space lift. Following his time at Ball Aerospace, LC joined Airbus U.S. Space & Defense as Vice President & Business Enabler and later served as Executive Director for their Space line of business.

LC developed his leadership skills in the U.S. Air Force, where his assignments ranged from Rocket Propulsion Engineering and Project Management to serving as an Assistant Professor of Astronautical Engineering and Aide-de-Camp for the U.S. Air Force Academy Superintendent. As Program Manager and Division Deputy Director, LC played a key role in building the nation’s Atlas 5 launch capability and rehabilitating the Delta 4-heavy launch pad at Vandenberg AFB. He later served as the Secretary of the Air Force’s Legislative Liaison in the U.S. Senate and concluded his Air Force career by commanding the First Space Launch Squadron at Cape Canaveral, the 2nd Cadet Group at the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the 30th Launch Group at Vandenberg, CA.

LC holds a BS in Engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy, an MS in Engineering Management from California State University, and two additional MA degrees from Air University.
