The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

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.✨

Perfect, just for you @AJamesMcCarthy

- FOR SALE ---- A historic Cold War-era NASA satellite tracking facility turned astronomical research institute is listed for $30 million.
The 192-acre Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) in Rosman, NC was built in 1963. It supported the Gemini Program, helped capture the first images of Earth from space, and later served as a surveillance hub.
Hidden in Pisgah National Forest, this epic property includes massive radio dishes, underground tunnels, labs, a planetarium, 25+ telescopes, and more than 30 buildings.

Last week a thunderstorm rolled through the Moses Lake area, causing high winds (but no damage) at our test site. Excellent preparation by the local team ensured that our Stage 1 structure held fast despite wind, rain, and lightning. ⚡️🚀

The coolest "silo" in Eastern WA... is a Stage 1 rocket structure.🤘

Enjoy this footage of all the testing happening in Moses Lake, from structural qualification to engine hot fires.

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Our Stage 1 structure is now shipped, delivered, and ready for testing in Moses Lake, WA. Standing in its full vertical orientation, this flight hardware will be thoroughly vetted before returning to Kent for some final touches before the journey to Cape Canaveral, FL begins.

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

The White House is proposing $18.8 billion for NASA in FY27, a 23% cut to NASA's 2026 enacted funding. Science, ISS, and education major targets of the proposed cuts.

One of our Zenith engines fitted into the stage 1 aft module... things are starting to come together. 🚀🔧

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Another day, another Zenith engine hot fire... Here we conduct a chirp test of our thrust vector control system - gimbaling the engine at increasing frequency to demonstrate control bandwidth (how fast we can respond to commands in flight). 📈

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Our stage 2 engine was successfully mated to the stage 1 forward module during a recent fit check test. Passed with flying colors. A+🇺🇸

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Today, on the anniversary of John Glenn's historic space flight in 1962, we raised the flag over SLC-14 for the first time since breaking ground. It's an honor to be part of America's space history – and its future. 🇺🇸🚀

Special thanks to @SLDelta45 installation commander Colonel Brian L. Chatman, Director. of @NASAKennedy Janet Petro, and @RepHaridopolos for joining us.

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.
