We’re unlocking the space economy by harnessing the power of full and rapid reusability with Nova, our 100% reusable rocket. Nova offers affordable access to, through, and from space with a 20x reduced cost to orbit.
Our reusable upper-stage vehicle delivers on-demand access to any orbit at any time. Its unmatched capabilities enable dynamic space operations, including capture, reposition, long-dwell operations, and return of assets, as well as space cargo and logistics missions.

Our 168,000-square-foot headquarters is home to our vertically integrated design and manufacturing operations. Leveraging next-generation tools and methods, Stoke’s rocket engines, structures, and avionics are built in days, not months or years.
And with our test facility just a three-hour drive away, we test and iterate with unprecedented speed.
Cutting-edge technology at work!
We’re setting new benchmarks for sustainability by slashing atmospheric impact by 98% compared to today’s most prolific rockets. Our vision is to foster a booming space economy that not only propels human ambition, but does so with an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, making the space economy both sustainable and scalable.
