York Space Systems Awarded New U.S. Government Contract Supporting Critical National Security Priorities

Contract with new U.S. government customer expands York’s mission portfolio and will deploy the company’s largest, most powerful M-CLASS platform

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--York Space Systems (York) (NYSE: YSS), a leading, U.S.-based national defense and commercial prime providing a comprehensive suite of mission-critical solutions, has been awarded a contract with a new U.S. government customer supporting critical national security priorities.

The award establishes a new customer relationship and builds on York’s established performance delivering operationally relevant space capabilities at speed and scale for a broad range of U.S. government customers. The mission will be executed using York’s largest and most powerful M-CLASS platform. While the program’s scope and mission are controlled, the effort supports critical national security priorities; additional mission and contract details are not being disclosed.

“This is an important program for York to support and a strong validation of the capabilities we’ve built over the last decade,” said Dirk Wallinger, CEO of York. “We are excited about this mission and the potential for it to lead to much larger follow-on opportunities to provide critical national defense needs. Adding a new U.S. government customer reflects the continued expansion of York’s national security customer base and growing demand for responsive, rapidly deployable space systems.”

York continues to support strategically important defense objectives and expand the company’s role in delivering responsive space capabilities for national security missions. This new program adds to the eight mission sets currently being executed under contract and in addition to York’s existing tactical communications capabilities, expands the company’s portfolio into new mission areas that reflect the significant growth demanded by its government customers. It also represents another step in York’s growing participation across next-generation defense space architectures and positions the company to support expanding mission needs over time.

“This new award reflects the confidence the U.S. government has in our ability to deliver resilient, mission-ready systems on accelerated timelines,” said Melanie Preisser, GM and EVP at York. “As national security space priorities continue to grow and evolve, York remains focused on executing across a growing portfolio of programs that demand proven performance, production agility, and operation reliability.”

Over the last several years, York has expanded its capabilities across spacecraft production, mission integration, and operational support to serve a broad range of national security and civil mission requirements. The company continues to invest in scalable manufacturing, mission assurance, and next-generation space architectures designed to support emerging defense priorities.
