Apex raises $95 million to increase satellite bus production

WASHINGTON - Satellite manufacturing startup Apex has raised $95 million to allow it to ramp up production of "productized" satellite buses to tap into growing demand, particularly from national security customers.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apex, the Los Angeles-based spacecraft manufacturing company, announced its customer payload for Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) has been successfully enabled as part of the Aries Serial Number (SN) 1 Call to Adventure Mission. Booz Allen’s onboard software payload allows Booz Allen to run diagnostics on the software as it attempts to perform computer-vision tasks at the edge. This is a key technology that will reduce the bandwidth required for on-orbit space domain awareness (SDA) sensors and enable the proliferation of next-generation deep-space sensors in the near future. “We are excited to have Booz Allen as one of our customers on this first Aries mission. We look forward to continuing the collaboration as both companies push forward the space industry,” said Ian Cinnamon, Chief Executive Officer at Apex. Apex’s Call to Adventure mission is unique and allows multiple customers to leverage transport on a single spacecraft
