Deep Space Rideshare to Asteroids
Own Your Deep-Space Mission.
Fly your payload to Near-Earth Asteroids aboard the ExLabs SERV Mothership.
What is Mission as a Service?
ExLabs delivers full-stack deep-space execution. We design, integrate, launch, navigate, and operate the spacecraft, with mission design, spacecraft engineering, and operations supported in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). You focus on your payload, science, or commercial objective.
Our Mission as a Service (MaaS) model enables governments, universities, commercial innovators, and defense customers to:
- ●Rideshare to asteroid mission areas
- ●Host payloads on our SERV mothership
- ●Deploy free-flyers, landers, or probes
- ●Conduct close-proximity asteroid operations
- ●Acquire planetary defense and resource datasets
The Platform
SERV Mothership – Modular Deep-Space Mission Platform, Built to adapt to your mission, not constrain it.
- ●Up to 400kg payload capacity, based on mission and CONOPS
- ●Supports hosted payloads, deployables, and proximity operations
- ●Configurable power, comms, and data systems
- ●Autonomous navigation and high-bandwidth communications
- ●Modular design, add capability without redesign
- ●Built for long-duration missions beyond Earth orbit
- ●Scales from single missions to persistent space architecture
Mission Timeline
Mission 2 & Mission 3 — 2029 Launches: Asteroid targets phased for resource and planetary defense objectives, utilizing electric propulsion low-thrust spiral transfer architecture capable of rendezvous and station-keeping within ~200 meters of asteroid surface.
Apophis EX Launch
First commercial deep space rideshare mission launches
Apophis Flyby
Rendezvous with Apophis during historic Earth close approach
Mission 2
Follow-on deep space mission target TBD
Sustained Operations
Recurring rideshare missions to deep space destinations
Option A — Static Payload
Mounted directly to the SERV Nadir Deck.
Ideal for:
Imaging systems, Spectrometers, Radar instruments, Communications relays, Passive science packages

From GEO to NEO — Your Gateway to Asteroid Infrastructure.
ExLabs is building repeatable, scalable deep-space access. Missions 2 and 3 are part of a broader roadmap establishing continuous asteroid mission capability.
This is not a one-off mission. It is infrastructure.
Secure Your Mass to Deep Space.
Payload capacity is limited and allocated on a rolling basis. Early submissions receive priority engineering review and mission shaping support.
