Product
Nova uses liquid-hydrogen active cooling to manage atmospheric re-entry heat, including on its reusable second stage. The design aims to return both rocket stages for repeated use.
Pathfinder hardware and ground systems are in testing. Stoke is targeting a first flight in early 2027 while developing a larger second-generation Nova vehicle and the infrastructure needed for operations.
