$NOC Alongside launch capacity, I think orbital servicing and robotics could become another major bottleneck as the space economy grows. Look at Northrop and DARPA working on robotic satellite servicing, $MDA 's Canadarm experience and #GITAI already demonstrating robotics outside the ISS. And then there's $FLY with Elytra, its recent deorbit design contract and the Eclipse rocket partnership with Northrop. Imagine combining launch, orbital transport, inspection, repairs, upgrades and eventually building larger structures in space. Whoever can bring these capabilities together could have a serious advantage. Still early, plenty to prove… but I think this is one area worth watching closely. $SPY $SPCX

Washington Harbour Partners will lead the round, with existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and XYZ Venture Capital participating. The valuation includes the new capital to be raised. Based in Los Angeles, Apex manufactures standardized satellite platforms that house payloads such as cameras and defense technologies for government and commercial customers. The company is part of a growing wave of space technology startups attracting significant investment, alongside rival K2 Space, which was recently valued at $6.8 billion.
