Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 innocent civilians in Israel. Among those slain were men, women, and children — including dozens of Americans. We will never forget this act of barbarism against an ally and recommit ourselves to the defense of civilization.

Apex is vertically integrating propulsion. Why? Because the electric propulsion industry was built around specialized spacecraft programs, not the production rates and schedules of a high-volume spacecraft factory. Electric propulsion technology itself is mature and well proven, but the traditional approach often relies on complex designs, specialized manufacturing processes, and propulsion systems tailored to individual missions. We have designed a new electric propulsion system and collaborated with @NASAJPL to build on their proven technology while optimizing the new thruster design for mass production and reliability in orbit. Apex's thruster is a throttleable, 1 kW-class Hall-effect thruster built around our design-for-manufacturing principles: fewer parts, simpler processes, repeatable builds. Heritage where it counts for reliability, redesigned where it counts for rate. For Apex's larger platforms, multiple thrusters can be clustered to scale thrust and delta-v, rather than requiring a bespoke propulsion program for every bus. Owning propulsion follows the same logic as the rest of our vertical integration strategy: own the design, own the supply chain, own the schedule – and deliver for our customers at scale.

Building spacecraft is a team sport. The Apex crew just crossed 400, and we're still hiring for 100+ open roles. Hear from McCall Richards, our Learning & Development Manager, on how we're training leaders to ensure that Apex's culture and values scale with our rapid growth. A few of the key roles we're hiring for right now: 🔗 Space Vehicle Systems Engineer → 🔗 Senior Space Simulation Test Engineer → 🔗 Lead Mission Integration Engineer → 🔗 Senior Mission Integration Engineer → 🔗 Mission Integration Engineer → 🔗 Mission Manager → 🔗 Launch Engineer → 🔗 Site Reliability Engineer → If you want to work on hardware heading to orbit — and enable missions that matter — join us.

Apex is partnering with @elveomobile to support its direct-to-device (D2D) constellation. By leveraging Apex's Factory X model, Elveo will rapidly stand up its first spacecraft manufacturing facility and jump-start production in the U.S. before expanding globally. The new facility will build on Apex's success scaling manufacturing at Factory One and use Apex's proprietary factory OS, Octopus, to streamline everything from supply chain to satellite build instructions. "Working with Elveo is a perfect example of how Apex's model can help accelerate proliferated LEO constellation deployments," said @IanCinnamon, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Apex. "By partnering to stand up a dedicated production facility, we're leveraging Apex's deep expertise in mass manufacturing spacecraft platforms to deploy Elveo's constellation years ahead of traditional bus supplier timelines."

25 years ago, the heinous attacks of September 11 changed our country forever. We will never forget the lives taken that day, and we are forever grateful to those who dedicate their lives to keeping our nation safe.

We're excited to share that @AnySignal_Space's Anylink communications services are now being offered as an option on all Apex spacecraft platforms. Part of being The Spacecraft Platform Company means layering additional services on top of our existing platforms to enable new capabilities for our customers. We've already proven AnyLink on Apex's platforms in orbit, and now we're offering it as an option to accelerate and simplify future customer missions. "Apex builds the spacecraft platforms so our partners can focus on what makes their mission unique," said @IanCinnamon, Co-Founder and CEO of Apex. "AnySignal's deep RF and networking expertise provides optional telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) capabilities that further elevate Apex's best-in-class platforms. We're proud to have proven the AnyLink technology on our spacecraft, and we're excited to build what comes next." Read the full release here:

Apex is The Spacecraft Platform Company. For most of space history, progress was measured in firsts. First satellite. First human in space. First Moon landing. The next era will be measured in rate: how fast you can deploy, replenish, and refresh the infrastructure everything else depends on. That’s the New Space Race. Winning it takes constellations: many satellites working together as systems. And constellations require two industrial capabilities: launch and spacecraft platforms. Launch is ready enough. Platforms are not. Apex exists to remove that bottleneck.

Announcing @regentcraft's $240M Series B to bring our Seaglider manufacturing facility online and deliver them to our military and commercial customers. Lets go!! Could not have asked for better co-leads between Mare Liberum (@lcselby) and AE Ventures, bringing vast experience and connectivity across maritime and aerospace. Its not easy building in either of these sectors, so their backing is amazing validation for the business. So excited to be partnering with @ereborbank on the financing. @PalmerLuckey and the team are absolutely putting their money where their mouth is on backing the next generation of American industry and defense technologies. Access to this $120M in debt unlocks significant manufacturing purchases across tooling and equipment to stay on track for first Seagliders out of the factory by end of next year. We have a quarter-million feet of factory floor to fill. This is a major growth moment for REGENT. To date, we've largely been focused on prototyping. Seagliders are the first new mode of transportation since the helicopter, and its taken a lot of engineering and test to get here. Now we are focused to getting Seagliders into the hands of our customers, whether it is contested logistics and MEDEVAC missions in the Indo-Pacific, or commuter service to New York or Miami. The growth of the order book over the past year has been amazing. It's a huge moment for us, but we're keeping our heads down and working. We are on the eve of flying our full-scale, human-safe Viceroy Seaglider prototype. Investors in our Series B got deeply involved in our technology development and testing campaigns and gained conviction in REGENT to unlock this fundraise even before Viceroy has flown. I must say, it's awesome to see this team - even while celebrating this Series B - remain so locked in on flight. Thank you to our existing investors who doubled down on us like @_edgegroup / SDF, @GiantStepVC, @LockheedMartin, @caffeinatedcap/@tonsing, @JAL_Official_jp, @mcuban, @foundersfund/@zebulgar, East X, and @Future_Planet. And excited for all the new support with @DCVC, iGrow, @BalnordVC, @VanderbiltU, and Inceptional. Massive day for REGENT. Next steps: flight, production, deliveries!

In typical @mikeroweworks fashion, when he and Apex CEO @IanCinnamon sat down for the latest episode of The Way I Heard It, much of the conversation went beyond Apex's strategy and focused on the people who do the work — or, in this case, build the satellites. For decades, this industry has relied on bespoke spacecraft built by highly specialized technicians on incredibly long lead times. At Apex, we're forging a different path and building satellites in a way that opens the door to talent traditional aerospace has often overlooked: think technicians with automotive backgrounds or builders from adjacent high-rate industries, bringing their perspective to the table to radically rethink how satellites are made (and help Apex reach true industrial scale). It's a different model that we're proud to pioneer...and it's working. Hear the full episode with Mike here:

The Apex team will be on the ground at @SmallSat 2026 in SLC next week to discuss all things Apex satellite platforms, recent and upcoming missions, and the continued production ramp at Factory One. Email info@apexspace.com to set up a meeting and learn how Apex's satellite platforms can power your next mission. See you in Salt Lake!
