• California's satellite manufacturing sector grows despite corporate relocations.
• SpaceX maintains large-scale manufacturing in California.
• New facilities open in Southern California and the Bay Area.

California's continued dominance in satellite manufacturing may indicate the state's entrenched role as an industrial foundation for commercial and defense satellite constellations. This suggests a distributed national production model, where high-density payload engineering and complex satellite bus integration remain in California, while high-volume launch operations and heavy rocket assembly are centered in other states.
