Stoke Space Achieves Milestone with Successful Test of Reusable Rocket Engine

The Kent-based startup completed a pivotal hot-fire test of its Nova booster engine, marking progress toward a fully reusable launch vehicle.

The engine test was conducted on June 5 at Stoke Space’s facility in Moses Lake, Washington.
The engine, designed in 18 months, produced 350,000 horsepower during the two-second test.
Seven of these engines will power the first stage of Stoke's Nova rocket, aimed for full reusability.
Stoke Space has secured $100 million in Series B funding to support its ambitious development program.
The company plans to continue maturing the engine and vehicle design, targeting an orbital test flight in 2025.
