Apex - Satellite Platforms 🛰

We knew from day one that unlocking constellation-scale manufacturing would be more than just a hardware challenge. That's why we built Octopus — our proprietary operating system, developed in-house to handle the many complexities of rapidly scaling satellite manufacturing. Octopus provides an end-to-end source of truth, from first customer conversation to orbit, enabling streamlined traceability that ensures speed never comes at the expense of quality. Octopus is built on Palantir's Foundry and AIP platforms, which provide the underlying infrastructure to rapidly prototype and deploy custom applications across the entire company. By building Octopus on Palantir, we have unified scheduling, procurement, receiving, inspection, inventory management, and production into a single integrated workflow — enabling predictable and secure, constellation-scale production. Hear from Apex CEO, Ian Cinnamon, and the rest of the team on how Apex's partnership with Palantir is unlocking rate production at Factory One, and laying the foundation for the next generation of satellite manufacturing.
