About Apex Aerospace

Apex Space has plan to have a constellation, comprising over 40 plus micro satellites by 2030. These satellites will capture imagery at high resolution and will have revisit locations every 2-3 hours, collectively imaging the entire Earth's landmass daily. The satellites will be small, cost-effective with a competitive manufacturing cost.

Data Collection and Processing:
Apex satellites are designed and configured to collect vast amounts of imagery data, processing millions of images daily, equating to about 10 lacs square kilometres of land coverage each month supporting sectors such as agriculture, forestry, and urban planning. The company will utilize cloud-based processing systems capable of handling over 5 petabytes of data monthly, ensuring scalability and flexibility in data management.

Data Analytics and Software Platform:
Beyond raw imagery, apex aerospace will offer advanced data analytics through its cloud-based platform. This platform supports real-time geospatial data visualization and analysis, enabling customers to derive actionable insights. The platform will host more than 1000 petabytes of global Earth observation data by 2028 with an average user access time of less than 5 minutes. Proprietary algorithms facilitate automated change detection, land use classification, and predictive analytics, processing over 100,000 images daily with accuracy rates between 95% and 98%.

Subscription:
Apex will utilize a subscription-based model, offering tiered pricing based on data resolution and access frequency. Subscription tiers include Basic, Professional, and Enterprise, with annual fees which will allow customers to tailor services to their needs.

Diverse Customer Base and Applications:
Apex will serve national and global customers across various sectors, including agriculture, mapping, strategic, forestry, finance, insurance, and government agencies. Applications include monitoring deforestation, assessing agricultural yields, tracking climate change, and supporting disaster response efforts
