\"York<\/p>\n

York Space Systems<\/strong>, a defense technology company transforming how the United States builds and operates space-based capabilities, announced that its parent company has agreed to acquire ATLAS Space Operations<\/strong>, a pioneer in Ground Software as a Service (GSaaS) for satellite communications. The move brings York a powerful, software-led ground architecture that simplifies operations, removes integration barriers, and enhances space-to-ground resilience, accelerating York’s ability to deliver secure, mission-ready space systems at unmatched speed and value.<\/p>\n

ATLAS will play a key role in York’s Golden Dome architecture, a next-generation defense solution that unifies spacecraft, software, and ground operations to deliver full-spectrum capabilities across contested environments. ATLAS will continue to operate independently under its existing brand, serving its diverse portfolio of customers across the space industry.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2015, ATLAS delivers secure, cloud-native connectivity through its Freedom software platform, which provides a single API access point to a global network of more than 50 antennas in 20+ countries and is the only GSaaS provider based in the United States. By shifting the complexity of satellite communications from hardware to software, ATLAS has built a federated network-of-networks that enables real-time tasking, automated scheduling, and seamless cloud delivery of mission data. The result is a flexible, scalable solution that reduces cost, risk, and time to orbit for a growing roster of government and commercial customers.<\/p>\n

“ATLAS has built one of the most sophisticated and secure ground communications platforms in the industry,” said Dirk Wallinger<\/strong>, CEO of York<\/strong>. “This acquisition will enhance York’s ability to deliver mission-ready systems on the timelines our customers demand while continuing to support the broader space ecosystem with best-in-class ground solutions.” The Freedom platform simplifies ground operations through a single API that abstracts away the complexities of legacy ground station networks. Whether operating a single satellite or a proliferated constellation, customers can onboard faster, stream data directly to the cloud, and flexibly access global infrastructure without building it themselves. <\/p>\n

“York shares our vision for a future where space systems are faster, smarter, and seamlessly integrated,” said Corey Geer<\/strong>, CEO of ATLAS<\/strong>. “Together, we are building the infrastructure to meet that future head-on, reducing risk, increasing resilience, and enabling critical data delivery on demand.” This acquisition will strengthen York’s ability to deliver integrated, mission-ready systems by pairing its high-performance spacecraft and software-defined operations with ATLAS’s proven ground communications platform. Thereby enhancing end-to-end mission delivery, accelerating deployment timelines, improving data flow from space to ground, and enabling more resilient, autonomous operations across both commercial and national security missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
