ExLabs is unlocking access beyond Earth orbit, building the capabilities and ecosystem to make deep space a sustained, repeatable frontier for humanity. From planetary defense to space resources, we're building the systems that turn exploration into sustained operations.
Our Focus
Enabling frequent affordable access to deep space
Planetary Defense
Advancing planetary defense through missions that study asteroid dynamics, develop early-warning systems, and test mitigation strategies.

Apophis EX
Apophis EX is the world's first open-access deep space rideshare mission.
Launching in 2028, the mission will rendezvous with asteroid Apophis before, during, and after its historic Earth flyby. Delivering critical data for planetary defense, science, and space resource discovery.
Designed for global agencies, institutions, and commercial partners, Apophis EX marks the first in a new era of frequent, shared-access missions beyond Earth.
Mission Goals
Planetary Defense
Studying Apophis' gravitational interactions with Earth to refine impact risk models.

Our Vision
What if deep space wasn't limited to flagship science missions every decade? What if it worked like infrastructure — persistent, modular, and open for business? That's the future ExLabs is building. We're defining a new category in space as the first deep space prime mission operator, purpose-built to run hosted missions beyond orbit at scale.
Looking Ahead
Our modular SERV platform delivers autonomous, reconfigurable access from GEO to cislunar and asteroid-class destinations, enabling frequent missions for science, defense, and commercial needs.
Through our hosted Mission-as-a-Service program, we're making deep space accessible, affordable, and operational. This is the first step toward sustainable exploration and off-planet resource use.
Backed by global partners and an ambitious roadmap, ExLabs is unlocking the next frontier, mission by mission.
