The US Space Force has selected York Space Systems to compete for task orders under the National Space Test and Training Complex Innovative Technology and Engineering (NITE-STAR) contract. The program, managed by Space Systems Command’s Operational Test and Training Infrastructure organization, will develop live and simulated ranges to test space systems and train personnel. York Space Systems, which builds satellites for government and commercial customers, could combine its satellite platforms with the global ground-station network operated by its subsidiary, ATLAS Space Operations. The NITE-STAR contract has a combined ceiling of $981 million over two five-year periods, as reported by Unknown Source.
