Thanks to @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman and his team for visiting our Moses Lake Test Site recently! Great to show off hot fires of both our Andromeda and Zenith engines as they complete their qualification campaigns.

Pretty surreal seeing our name (and new branding) in lights last week. Thank you @NYSE for the recognition. Ad astra!
With our Nova Pathfinder launch vehicle well under way, it’s time to share more about Nova Block 2, the larger configuration our team has been developing in parallel. Get the details in our blog post, “Scaling Nova”:

@SciGuySpace hold that thought. it's not supernova yet ;)
The market is hungry for payload-agnostic launch capacity that customers can count on.
Nova Pathfinder gets us to orbit, Block 2 scales the full-reuse architecture to 15 metric tons with a 5-meter fairing.

We remain fully committed to building and flying Nova Pathfinder, which has already taught us an enormous amount about full and rapid reuse, and now we get to unveil Block 2:
Today, Stoke announced a $1 billion Series E, bringing our total capital raised to $2.3 billion.
This funding will help us bring Nova Pathfinder to flight, accelerate development of our larger 15-ton-class Nova Block 2 vehicle, and build the production capacity required to fly at scale.
This milestone reflects years of extraordinary work by the Stoke team and the conviction of customers and investors who share our belief that fully reusable space transportation is both possible and necessary.
We are deeply grateful for their trust, and more energized than ever by the work ahead.

Hell yeah - SUCH an honor to fire both our engines for @rookisaacman and the NASA team!
Always good to get out of DC and into the field where the action is happening.
From @Livermore_Lab to United Precision, @Boeing, @_Rocketdyne, and @stoke_space, we spent the last few days with the scientists, engineers, and technicians putting some of America’s most ambitious missions into motion.
We saw incredible science, aerospace manufacturing, propulsion hardware for ESM, Orion, and SR-1, and wrapped it up with live Zenith and Andromeda tests at Stoke’s test site, which were extremely impressive.
We have an enthusiastic and engaged President @POTUS who has given us the policy, the resources, and even a new Space Academy. We have bipartisan support from Congress, the talent of the NASA workforce, the best of industry, and a playbook that changed the world in 1969 and will do so again.

STOKED to have @NASAAdmin onsite today at @stoke_space in Moses Lake!
Our Summer 2027 Internships are LIVE!
From building flight hardware to testing engine performance, Stoke interns jump into meaningful, hands-on work, delivering real impact alongside our teams.
If you’re a student looking to build your skills at a cutting-edge aerospace company, learn from some of the brightest people in the industry, and contribute to work that matters--this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Applications are open through the end of December - get yours in early!

We recently mated the payload module, second stage, and Andromeda engine at our rocket factory in Kent, WA. Fit check, check. ✅
The first three of our flight one engines are designed, built, and ready for testing. ✅
Stage 1 Zenith engines ZE14, 15, and 16 are ready to ship from our shop floor in Kent, WA to Moses Lake for hot fire acceptance testing.
Getting our Zenith engines through qualification testing is no small feat, and trusted vendors like Performance Sealing Inc. - who can iterate at industry-leading speeds - are key to keeping our work on time and on track.🙏🙌

We're excited to announce @kevinweil has joined our board of directors. He brings deep product leadership experience as we move closer to launch and grow the company. Welcome to Stoke, Kevin!

Happy 4th from the Stoke team at the Cape. 🇺🇸 Stay safe celebrating the 250th🎂 and remember, if you go swimming in a flame trench, swim at your own risk. 🚀
Happy (early) Fourth! No fireworks? No problem - enjoy the sparks from our latest Zenith engine hot fires. 🔥🚀
Stoke technician welds internal tank stiffening, reinforcing the area around the Stage 1 fuel tank's human-access door.
We use handheld laser fillet welding due to the high deposition rate, which also has the structural advantage of inputting less heat to prevent warping and preserve strength.

Great to host NASA Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya at our HQ last week, just in time to see the aft module fit up to stage 1!🚀🚀
omg if this isn't an amazing picture idk what is
Leak shroud testing – the six-sided metal enclosure around the nozzle is designed to simulate the engine bay of the integrated rocket to identify any fuel or oxidizer leaks during a full mission duty cycle burn.
This is a key test to help retire risk for stage static fire and flight.🚀
