Apex is The Spacecraft Platform Company.

For most of space history, progress was measured in firsts. First satellite. First human in space. First Moon landing. The next era will be measured in rate: how fast you can deploy, replenish, and refresh the infrastructure everything else depends on.

That’s the New Space Race.

Winning it takes constellations: many satellites working together as systems. And constellations require two industrial capabilities: launch and spacecraft platforms.

Launch is ready enough. Platforms are not. Apex exists to remove that bottleneck.

"What makes this time especially exciting is how quickly the industry is evolving. Space is no longer just about a handful of government missions—there are so many companies developing new technologies and opening the door to entirely new applications. I love the idea of being part of that momentum, learning from talented people, and contributing to technology that has a real impact both in orbit and here on Earth."

Meet Roshan Duggineni, Mission Manager here at Apex!

Roshan is entering his third year at Apex and brings experience across several engineering disciplines, including systems and mechanical engineering at Raytheon and Virgin Galactic. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.Eng. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.

As a Mission Manager, he runs customer missions end to end, supporting payload integration with Apex's spacecraft platforms, launch vehicle integration, and on-orbit operations.

Another day, another Aries shipment.

Last Thursday, while most of the team watched another Aries platform launch on Transporter-18, our Mission Services and Supply Chain teams delivered two more Aries to an international customer.

Production keeps ramping at Factory One, with multiple satellites shipping every month through the rest of the year.

This is spacecraft platform production at scale. Come build with us.

Go Aries, Go Apex!

Another Apex platform is operational in orbit.

@CowboySpaceCorp's Reason-1 spacecraft has achieved sun acquisition, is power-positive, and has full bidirectional comms. All systems are nominal, with initial contact made within 10 minutes of separation from the launch vehicle. The bus is happy and healthy — commissioning is now underway.

Congratulations to our partners at Cowboy Space on this important milestone. With Aries production rate currently at multiple deliveries per month, it's incredibly rewarding to see the regular cadence of customer vehicles heading to orbit, entering operations, and enabling our customers to unlock the future.

Five Aries deployed and counting. Go Aries. Go Apex.
