York Space Systems, an emerging Denver-based small satellite manufacturer, has announced plans to go public. The company, founded in 2012 by CEO Dirk Wallinger, has positioned itself as a low-cost provider of satellites for use in low Earth and geosynchronous orbits. With revenue of $280.9 million in the first nine months of 2025, up 59% year over year, York Space Systems is showing impressive growth.
York’s major shareholder, AE Industrial Partners, acquired its stake in 2022 and will retain majority voting rights after the IPO. This is possible because New York Stock Exchange rules allow certain exceptions for controlled companies. This structure allows AE Industrial to continue to direct York’s fortunes, similar to Firefly Aerospace, which went public in August.
York Space Systems has made a name for itself through its contracts with the Space Development Agency (SDA). The company is contracted to build satellites for three tranches of the next generation of missile warning constellations. With a backlog of $642 million as of September 30, 2025, York is well positioned to benefit from growing demand for satellite solutions.
The planned IPO is intended to provide York Space Systems with the necessary funds to finance its growth initiatives. This includes inventory expansion, research and development, and capital expenditure investments. The company hopes to attract interest from investors, similar to what Firefly and Voyager Technologies have done this year. Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and Wells Fargo Securities are acting as lead underwriters for the proposed offering.
