If it isn’t loud and flamey, is it really worth the effort?

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Big tank. Big tests. Big milestone.

Nova Stage 1 proto-qualification is complete.
46 structural objectives verified, plus key fluid systems, avionics, software, ground systems, and ops demos. (More detail in our linked blog post.)

This is where new rockets often find the hard stuff; Nova (and the Stoke team) handled it. Our local partners at the @PORTOFMOSESLAKE , the Grant County Sheriff's Office and Public Works department, plus our vendor Norco made sure we had the support we needed every step of the way.

Ad Astra.✨

✅Launch pad: complete.
✅Oxygen, fuel & water farms: installed.
✅Horizontal integration facility: built.

We celebrate the wins while we keep up the hustle. Thanks to our friends @SLDelta45 and @NASA for the epic footage of SLC-14.

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Happy to announce an extension of our Series D financing round to $860M, adding $350M to the initial $510M raised in October 2025. This brings our total funds raised to $1.34B.

We're grateful to our investors and excited to bring our fully and rapidly reusable Nova rocket to market while accelerating future elements of the product roadmap.

We cannot wait for stoke to send us to the stars.

"The company has a customer for the first flight. If all goes well, its first mission will sail to the asteroid belt. Asteroid mining startup AstroForge has signed on for Nova 1."

Ignition and test fire at 4:08pm ET of Blue Origin’s New Glenn second stage ahead of the rocket’s debut flight! The burn appeared to last a bit longer than ten seconds.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We’re looking forward to firing up those two BE-3Us on New Glenn’s second stage in a few days.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Hello, mate. We recently completed our final major mate operation on #NewGlenn’s 188-foot first stage, merging the aft with the mid module.

[Port Canaveral @PortCanaveral]

BIG “BOOST” AT PORT CANAVERAL TODAY! For the first time, two of our space partners – Blue Origin and Space X, operating side-by-side on North Cargo Berth 6! SpaceX booster from recent launch, and Blue Origin’s New Glenn booster simulator training with their specially designed crane. Sky’s the limit!

This forward module validation test is fun to see. Our four fins on New Glenn are about the size of a car—roughly 16 feet long at the base and sticking out 6.5 feet from the body of the rocket. They’re responsible for steering the rocket on ascent and descent. Most of the structure is aluminum, which is protected from reentry heating by a durable fabric thermal protection system we invented and refer to internally as ‘Comet.’ The aerodynamic forces pushing on the fin during flight are roughly equal to the weight of a 737 aircraft.  #newglenn @blueorigin

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We’re rolling out our New Glenn simulator again today for a series of transport erector integrated ground tests in preparation for launch later this year. Tests will include powering up the pumps that provide pressure to the vehicle hydraulic system, validating the ground system supplying commodities to the rocket, and a rapid retract test of the umbilical connections. More to come. 🚀

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Yes, Rocket City, that was our BE-4 engine test. Video coming soon…

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Congratulations @ULALaunch! Team Blue celebrates Vulcan’s first launch! #PoweredByBE4

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We’re targeting a launch window that opens on Dec. 18 for our next New Shepard payload mission. #NS24 will carry 33 science and research payloads as well as 38,000 @clubforfuture postcards to space. #FortheBenefitofEarth

[Space Scout @WeAreSpaceScout]

As first reported by Space Scout, Blue Origin has been conducting engine hot firings at Test Stand 4670 at the Marshall Spaceflight Center.

A video uploaded by Alabama Representative Dale Strong to Instagram today showed a BE-3U conducting the first firing on the test stand.

Nominal run!

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Honored to be on this journey with @NASA to land astronauts on the Moon — this time to stay. Together, we’ll be solving the boil-off problem and making LOX-LH2 a storable propellant combination, pushing forward the state of the art for all deep space missions. #Artemis #MoonToMars https://t.co/hqt4OqiREM

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We are thankful for Team Blue and their dedication to building the road to space for the benefit of Earth.
