York Space Systems has completed its acquisition of satellite terminal and communications systems developer All.Space in a deal worth about $300 million. The transaction includes $155 million in cash, with another 5.9 million York shares transferred under the agreement. All.Space will now operate as a wholly owned York subsidiary.
The key asset in the deal is Hydra, All.Space’s line of satellite communication terminals. The company says the systems support multiple networks and orbits and are designed to keep working in jammed environments, maintaining connectivity where traditional communications systems may fail.
According to Dirk Wallinger, CEO of York Space Systems, positioning and communications systems are becoming critical pieces of infrastructure. He said coordinating large groups of autonomous vehicles requires a space architecture with global coverage and resilient performance in operational zones.

The purchase is York’s third major deal since the company went public in January 2026. Earlier, York acquired space propulsion developer Orbion Space Technology and satellite solar component maker Solestial.
York is combining those businesses to build its own vertically integrated space technology platform for the defense market. The company says it plans to use the combined technologies to address growing demand for tactical space systems, with reliable communications still seen as one of the main barriers to scaling unmanned systems in contested environments.
