ExLabs is forging a sustainable link between Earth and Space by developing critical orbital and deep space infrastructure. Our mission is centered on building and deploying a scalable, low-cost spacecraft network designed for diverse, high-frequency and large-scale missions.
We are dedicated to advancing space exploration and the utilization of space resources, we are proud to introduce our groundbreaking mission to study and interact with the asteroid Apophis.
Apophis Mission Overview:
The ExLabs spacecraft, is set to launch in April of 2028, arriving approximately six months prior to Earth's close approach to the asteroid in April 2029. Maintaining a safe distance from the asteroid, our spacecraft will facilitate payload deployment and operations for scientific missions and instruments for both commercial and international space agencies.
Payload Opportunities:
The ExLabs Apophis spacecraft offers opportunities for additional payloads, with customizable constraints to accommodate various scientific instruments and experiments. From prospecting landers to smaller satellites, our spacecraft provides a platform for innovative research and exploration. We offer operational support for payloads, including RF communication and data transmission to Earth via the NASA Deep Space Network. We invite proposals for additional instruments, landers, or orbiters to fly on our spacecraft to Apophis.
