Stoke Space

We're on a mission - starting with 100% reusable rockets.

Did you watch it yet? 👀 Check out the new @Erdayastronaut video about Stoke by Tim Dodd & his incredible team!

Spoiler alert: 🚨Flamey bit at the end when Tim tours our Moses Lake, WA test facility!

Stage 1 flight article is back at Stoke HQ in Kent, WA after a successful proto-qualification campaign.

Real hardware. Real progress. Real Rainier in the background. 🤘🏔️ LFG.🚀

Happy Flag Day, from our rocket factory family to yours.🇺🇸

The sun has set on our Stage 1 structure's time in Moses Lake, but it will soon rise over our launch site in Cape Canaveral.

No one said the road to launch was easy, but it sure is a pretty ride. 🚀🌅

Super proud of the team for this one. BIG step!

[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.✨

Zeus has declared his favor for Stoke Space

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

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. ⚡️🚀

Sound🔊on: epic fly-by footage of the ongoing Zenith engine testing and Stage 1 structural qualifications happening at our test site in Moses Lake. 🤘🚀

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Getting frosty in Moses Lake. 🥶

A thin layer of frost forms around our Stage 1 structure as it fills with cryogenic liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen.

These tests let us demonstrate structural and fluid design margins, an important aspect of the proto-qualification process. 🍦💡🚀

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.

[Andy Lapsa @AndyLapsa]

Engines racking up time on both test cells. Vehicle turned on and about to start testing...things are happening!

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Testing is LIVE in Moses Lake, for both our Stage 1 structure and Zenith engines. Proud of the teams who are working relentlessly to drive us forward on the road to launch.🛣️🚀

[Andy Lapsa @AndyLapsa]

From factory floor to installed on stand in less than 18 hours - not bad for SN1!

Grain silo? Water tank? Space hot dog on wheels?? 🤔

[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.

[Andy Lapsa @AndyLapsa]

Hey that's a neat truck

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

Sneak peek inside our Stage 1 tank, putting the finishing touches on our integration campaign.🤩 Next week, this flight article will ship to our test site in Moses Lake, WA for protoqualification testing. Enjoying the views at Kent while it lasts!

First trim test of our Zenith ZE12 engine to assess the flight thrust chamber assembly's (TCA) design performance and to run the engine system through its range of power levels and mixture ratios–along with performance upgrades to our fuel turbopump 🧑‍🍳😙🤌

(Also shows performance upgrades to our fuel turbopump.)
