York Space Systems Inc.

York Space Systems Inc. is a U.S.-based primary contractor in the space and defense sector, offering mission-critical solutions to national security, government, and commercial clients. The company provides proprietary hardware and software capabilities to meet complex mission requirements across the entire space ecosystem and mission lifecycle. York differentiates itself from traditional prime contractors through its pricing, speed of deployment, and sophisticated capabilities. For awarded contracts, York's price per satellite has been approximately half that of its competitors. The company was the first to deliver and launch satellites for the U.S. Department of Defense's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). York is also the first and only company to demonstrate Link-16 connectivity from space, which is a real-time military tactical data link network used by the U.S. government and NATO. York offers a vertically integrated suite of solutions, encompassing the design, production, integration, and operation of spacecraft, with turnkey services for managing spacecraft and constellations throughout their mission lifecycle. The company has flown 74 missions, developed 17 products with flight heritage, and accumulated over four million on-orbit hours. As a prime contractor, York monetizes the entire space vertical, from launch to mission operations, spacecraft to payloads, and edge computing to data transfer.
