Apex addresses the space industry’s satellite production bottleneck by manufacturing standardized spacecraft buses at scale. Founded in 2022 in Los Angeles by CEO Ian Cinnamon and CTO Max Benassi, Apex applies high-rate manufacturing principles to deliver off-the-shelf satellite buses with short lead times and high-volume production.

Apex’s three satellite platform families (Aries, Nova, and Comet) provide built-in configurability across orbits and mission requirements, enabling faster deployment of critical constellations for the U.S. and its allies compared to traditional custom-built approaches.
