First Deep Space
Rideshare Mission
The ApophisExL mission by ExLabs is set to redefine space exploration as the world's first commercial rideshare to deep space and an asteroid, with its launch scheduled for April 2028.
This pioneering mission will validate ExLabs' advanced spacecraft technology and serve as a platform for multiple payloads from international and commercial collaborators.
Centered on asteroid Apophis, the mission aims to uncover critical data on its structure, composition, and gravitational effects during its extreme near-Earth flyby on April, Friday (the 13th.) 2029.

The Future of Deep-Space Access
ExLabs is developing hosted rideshare missions as a service, allowing multiple payloads to share access to deep space at reduced cost. The ApophisExL mission is the first of a series of missions. The second mission, following ApophisExL, will be announced soon.
