York Space Systems reports developments tied to national security space contracts, mission programs, spacecraft production, and public-company financial reporting. Company updates include IDIQ awards for defense space architectures, mission activity involving government and commercial communications services, and quarterly or annual operating results.
York news also covers completed corporate actions such as the acquisition of Orbion Space Technology, which added flight-proven electric specialty aerospace systems to the company’s spacecraft subsystem capabilities. Recurring announcements reflect York’s role as a U.S. space and defense mission prime serving government and commercial customers.
York Space Systems (YSS) has been selected as prime contractor for the initial phase of Tomorrow.io’s DeepSky early warning satellite constellation under a $187 million commercial contract previously disclosed in March.
The award covers delivery of dozens of spacecraft built on York’s flight-proven M-CLASS platform for a proliferated low-Earth orbit network. Each DeepSky satellite will host five Tomorrow.io instruments, including Gen-2 microwave sounders, GNSS radio occultation, GNSS reflectometry, infrared and visible imaging, and space-based precipitation radar, to provide a full vertical picture of the atmosphere at global refresh rates.
York will be responsible for end-to-end program delivery in the initial phase, from spacecraft manufacture through payload integration, and highlights this win as expansion into commercial-adjacent markets. York reports investing over $755 million in production to support constellations at this scale and cadence.
York Space Systems (YSS) introduced the LX/V-CLASS, a new spacecraft platform purpose-built for Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) missions, expanding its product line beyond existing S- and LX-CLASS platforms.
LX/V-CLASS is designed for sustained operations at very low altitudes, in a debris self-clearing regime, offering higher-fidelity observation, shorter communication paths, and added orbit diversity to complement LEO, MEO, GEO, and cislunar assets. The platform builds on results from York’s BANE mission, which demonstrated communications and attitude control at altitudes down to 200 kilometers, validating the system stack for VLEO operations. Leveraging existing inventory, LX/V-CLASS can be deployed in as little as six to seven months after contract. York’s move into VLEO is backed by more than $755 million in production and supply chain investment and a flight-proven base of three constellations and five simultaneous missions.
