York Space SystemsUnderneath the high tech glamour of space lies, in many ways, an old-fashioned industry. "He has lots of experience," York CEO Dirk Wallinger told Forbes. Founded in 2015, the Denver-based York Space Systems designs and manufactures satellite buses - the basic platform from which multiple satellites can be built. Unique to the industry, though, is that rather than manufacture a satellite bus for a limited constellation of satellites, they're developing a standardized satellite bus that can be mass produced. "There's a tremendous opportunity for industrialized commercial space to lower the cost of national security space missions," Beames said.
