Apex space

Apex Space is a Los Angeles-based company specializing in high-rate, productized satellite bus platforms that serve the rapidly growing demands of both commercial and government space missions. Founded in 2022, Apex has quickly become an industry leader in configurable, scalable spacecraft manufacturing, enabling customers to shift away from custom-built vehicles toward reliable, off-the-shelf options that accelerate on-orbit deployment and reduce operational risks. The company’s flagship production complex, Factory One, produces satellite buses supporting applications such as missile defense, LEO and GEO space domain awareness, remote sensing, and communications constellations. Apex’s rapid manufacturing, transparent pricing, and proven mission success—including a record-setting quick delivery of its Aries satellite bus—have attracted significant venture backing, along with defense contracts, notably a $46 million award from the U.S. Space Force.
