(Reuters) -Private equity-backed satellite provider York Space Systems filed for an initial public offering in the United States on Monday.

IPO activity in the United States is expected to pick up into the end of the year as companies look to seize on a narrow window to go public after the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which had curbed the Securities and Exchange Commission's ability to review paperwork.

Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and Wells Fargo Securities are the lead underwriters for the offering.

York Space will list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "YSS".
