Stokespace

Stoke Space develops fully reusable launch vehicles designed to provide high-cadence, low-cost access to space. Its primary focus is on building rockets and supporting systems that can be rapidly turned around, similar to aircraft operations, to support frequent satellite deployments and responsive space missions. By integrating advanced propulsion, structures, and thermal management technologies, Stoke Space aims to make orbital access more sustainable and operationally efficient for commercial, civil, and defense customers.

Key capabilities include a fully reusable second stage with an integrated heat shield and actively cooled engine system, enabling safe reentry and recovery without expending hardware. Stoke Space employs a ring of distributed engines and modern manufacturing methods, such as additive manufacturing, to simplify design, reduce part counts, and improve reliability. The company also develops ground systems and test infrastructure to validate rapid reusability, including short-hop flight tests and high-tempo engine firings. This integrated approach is intended to minimize refurbishment time and maximize launch cadence.
