ENABLING Next-Generation Constellations by Eliminating the Satellite Production Bottleneck

As the new space race accelerates, Apex has reimagined satellite manufacturing to meet the growing demand for proliferated, attritable satellite constellations. While reusable launch vehicles have solved many orbital access challenges, scaled satellite manufacturing remains a critical bottleneck in constellation deployment. Apex’s solution: Productized, configurable spacecraft designed for manufacturing and delivered at scale.

Apex combines traditional aerospace techniques with innovative new-space approaches and lessons from high-rate terrestrial manufacturing to build high-reliability buses at constellation-scale. Our three product lines — Aries, Nova, and Comet — serve a broad range of customer missions with configurable designs optimized for operations across orbital regimes.

We can’t wait to see what you build on Apex’s platforms. Let's get to orbit.

Delivering for a broad spectrum of government and commercial customers today

Factory One

Apex's high-rate manufacturing facility is already enabling rate production in Los Angeles, CA, with a peak annual production capacity of over 200 buses per year. By the end of 2026, Factory One will reach over 100,000 sq. ft. — unlocking additional space for bus assembly, vertical integration, future platform R&D, and end-to-end mission services.

Factory One has been meticulously designed from the ground up to revolutionize bus production and support rapid, serial satellite manufacturing. From its dedicated cell-based subassembly production floor, to its fully equipped linear integration cleanroom and 66,000-lbf vibration table, Factory One enables Apex’s talented technicians to build and test buses at record speeds.

Apex’s proprietary operating system, Octopus, integrates the full spacecraft manufacturing process — linking inventory management, production scheduling, and assembly work instructions into a single, unified environment that dynamically adjusts to evolving demand.
