We have downlinked our first Aries “selfie” 📸 The image was taken by a camera mounted on the satellite bus’s payload deck. The selfie shows power, thermal, GNC, and communications all working together to acquire and downlink the photograph. The camera captures one of the deployed solar panels in the foreground, with the Azores Islands and Atlantic Ocean in the background. On the solar panel, Apex’s logo and a picture of the team are visible. https://lnkd.in/g4mSTHxZ

Spacecraft Manufacturing
About us
Spacecraft represent the most pressing need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.
For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.
Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.
We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.

Noah Sheinbaum interviews Apex CEO Ian Cinnamon — listen in!
8 years ago, I met Ian Cinnamon by accident. The Stanford University Graduate School of Business screwed up our housing assignments, and rather than meeting our previously-assigned roommates that day, Ian and I found ourselves sharing a dorm. Today, Ian and Apex - Spacecraft Manufacturing are celebrating one year on orbit for their Aries SN1 satellite - the fastest built small satellite in history. And ALSO today, Ian is my guest this week on Crossing the Valley. If you want to know what life is like as a serial entrepreneur, or how to spot market trends, or what the future of space holds, this conversation is for you. BONUS: An investor recently called Ian "the prototype of what I wish every def tech founder could be." Come find out why. Episode 35 is now live! Check it out wherever you get your podcasts (link in comments) 👇

Happy Birthday Aries! 🎂🥳 One year ago, Aries set a world record as the fastest production satellite platform to orbit 🛰️💨 Today, Aries has spent over a full year in space and continues to operate nominally, serving our customers and our internal testing needs 🧑💻🔬 The one year milestone is a major hurdle in the space industry. Congrats Apex! 🎉🙌 https://lnkd.in/gVmPhV9a

Leaders from Apex - Spacecraft Manufacturing, Lockheed Martin, Palantir Technologies, York Space Systems LLC, and Impulse Space gathered in Miami to discuss what’s required to build the new industrial space. The West needs to dominate the New Space Race, and that will only happen with more proliferated systems on orbit. Special thanks to Captain Andrew B. for moderating and SmallSat Alliance for hosting!
