ExLabs plans mission to rendezvous with asteroid Apophis
Exploration Labs (ExLabs), a startup based in Southern California, is gearing up for a 2028 mission to intercept the asteroid Apophis before it approaches Earth.
The mission aims to deploy three cubesats into Apophis’ orbit while also testing systems and software for future endeavors to redirect near-Earth asteroids for resource extraction.
ExLabs CEO Matthew Schmidgall emphasizes a collaborative approach with government and commercial partners to facilitate cost-effective missions.
The company is developing large modular spacecraft like the Space Exploration and Resource Vehicle (SERV) to host payloads and robotics, such as the Arachne Platform, for capturing and relocating space objects.
Aware of past challenges faced by space resource startups, ExLabs focuses on leveraging its core technologies to address existing and imminent space infrastructure needs, Space News reported.
