✦ Space Logistics — Government & SBIR-Funded Programs
Compliant execution. Documented at every step.
Government and SBIR-funded missions carry reporting obligations, audit requirements, and procurement
standards that commercial logistics providers aren't built for. Sidereal delivers fully
documented, audit-ready mission execution — from export compliance to cost reporting —
so your program meets its obligations at every phase without diverting technical resources.
Why Sidereal
Audit-ready documentation — every action, decision, and handoff recorded and structured for government reporting requirements
Export control as a core competency — ITAR/EAR compliance, TCP management for foreign national teams, and TAA coordination handled by specialists, not generalists
Cost-plus documentation available — pass-through costs documented with full transparency for programs requiring itemized grant reporting
Mission Portal — Real-time phase tracking, regulatory status by agency, and document management. Clients see their mission, not just an email update.
Government Program Engagements
Sidereal structures engagements specifically for government and SBIR-funded programs —
milestone billing aligned to grant disbursement schedules, itemized cost documentation, and compliance
paper trails built for program office review.
We understand that government-funded missions operate under constraints commercial operators don't face.
If your program has a defined mission scope and a funded budget, that is where this conversation starts.
Service 01
Regulatory Navigation
FCC, FAA, NOAA, and ITAR/EAR compliance managed in parallel — with documentation structured for program office review. Export compliance is particularly critical for government-funded programs with foreign national team members or international partners.
Service 02
Launch Coordination
Rideshare manifest management and aggregator liaison — with all costs documented for grant reporting. Government programs often qualify for NASA CSLI and ELaNa launch opportunities alongside commercial rideshare. We evaluate the full range of options against your mission requirements.
Service 03
Payload Integration
Full payload logistics with chain of custody documentation at every transfer point. Government programs require hardware handling records that hold up to program office and contracting officer review. Every handoff is signed, timestamped, and filed.
Service 04
Post-Launch Support
Early orbit support, FCC and NOAA reporting compliance, and ongoing conjunction monitoring. Government programs often have post-launch reporting obligations under their grant or contract — we manage those requirements so your team focuses on mission science.
