Stoke Space is developing Nova, a fully and rapidly reusable medium-lift launch vehicle designed to provide high-frequency access to orbit. The company's pioneering approach uses an actively cooled metallic heat shield integrated with the upper-stage engine, enabling both stages to be reused. Stoke aims to reduce the cost of access to space by 20x and support dynamic space operations including satellite deployment, asset capture and return, and space debris removal.
