York Space Systems, a Denver-based aerospace company dedicated to the rapid deployment of complete space mission solutions, announced the company has completed the acquisition of Emergent Space Technologies, an aerospace technology company focused on developing and fielding mission software and Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) solutions for multi-spacecraft missions.
Emergent’s 20-year history in software development, integration, and testing further strengthens York’s leadership position in mission software capabilities. Emergent’s nationally recognized software engineering processes will enhance York’s mission solution designs for DoD, civil, and intelligence community programs.
“We view the continued growth of our software capabilities as a critical step in expanding York’s offerings and accelerating our ability to execute for all our customers. This acquisition ensures the right technology and resources are immediately available to deliver exceptional end-to-end mission solutions on time and at the fixed prices each of our customers expects,” said Dirk Wallinger, CEO of York.
“With the rapid commoditization of satellite hardware, the country’s competitive advantage in space is in the mission software, smart networks, and edge processing. While others have been talking about the future, Emergent’s team has been delivering for the warfighter with the most skilled and experienced team in the industry,” said Charles Beames, Chairman, York.
