Episode 559: York Space CEO Dirk Wallinger on Scaling Satellites and the Next Space Race

York Space Systems has spent 15 years industrializing satellite manufacturing, moving the industry from billion-dollar, decade-long builds to standardized platforms fielded in just seven months. Founder, President and CEO Dirk Wallinger goes inside the ICE House to discuss how proliferated constellations create resilience, why competition sharpens rather than threatens York's edge, and how the company's new Very Low Earth Orbit technology builds on proven flight heritage rather than theory.
