Exotrail’s spacevan 002 orbital transfer vehicle delivered AEPEX to an orbit of approximately 500 km at an inclination above 70 degrees.
Exotrail deployed the NASA-funded AEPEX mission in mid-May 2026.
AEPEX is a 6U CubeSat mission led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
AEPEX studies how high-energy electrons from Earth’s radiation belts precipitate into the upper atmosphere.
