Apex is developing two larger satellite variants, Comet Mini and Comet XL, aimed at energy-intensive missions including missile defense and space-based computing. The company says the new platforms are designed to support heavier technical demands than its existing approach.
The satellites are described as being built for missions that require more power and greater capability. Apex identified the systems as Comet Mini and Comet XL, but the source does not provide payload mass, orbit details, propulsion specifications, or launch vehicle information.
