Et Stoke Space entend bien remplir ce rôle. Décollage imminent pour Nova ! L’entreprise, un temps convoitée par Sam Altman pour directement venir concurrencer SpaceX d’Elon Musk, vient en effet de lever 1 milliard de dollars, de quoi porter son capital total à 2,3 milliards. Un montant impressionnant pour une entreprise qui n’a encore jamais tenté de lancement orbital, qui doit financer la dernière ligne droite avant le premier vol de sa fusée Nova. Celle-ci se distingue par sa réutilisabilité totale . À l’instar de la mégafusée Starship , Stoke veut faire revenir sur Terre l’intégralité de son lanceur, second étage compris. Pour y parvenir, l’entreprise a développé un bouclier thermique actif, [...] 0 La fusée entièrement réutilisable de Stoke Space, supposément capable de rivaliser avec les mastodontes du secteur, s’apprête enfin à décoller. Et la société vient de boucler une levée de fonds record, signe que ses ambitions sont saluées par l’industrie. Stoke Space vient de boucler une levée de fonds record. ©Stoke Space Car le marché du lancement traverse une pénurie chronique. Portée par le déploiement de méga-constellations et par les besoins croissants en matière de sécurité nationale, la demande explose littéralement. Mais l’offre de lanceurs disponibles peine à suivre, ce qui fait logiquement grimper les prix. De même, les créneaux se font rares, parfois réservés plusieurs années à l'avance. Dans ce contexte tendu, l’arrivée d’un nouvel acteur capable de multiplier les vols à
- Stoke Space raises $1 billion for fully reusable rockets, targets 'early 2027' for 1st-ever launch
Subscribe to our newsletter Stoke Space has amassed a substantial sum during its latest round of financing and is revealing exactly where it plans to invest its new stack of cash. The Kent, Washington-based company just raised $1 billion via its"Series E" capital campaign, bringing Stoke’s total investor haul to $2.3 billion. The Sept. 8 announcement provided a development update for Stoke’s fully reusable Nova Pathfinder launch vehicle and included plans for its never-before-seen Nova Block 2 rocket, a more powerful system designed to be able to deliver up to 15 tons to low Earth orbit (LEO). [...] Stoke is also expanding its operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida. The company was selected by the U.S. Space Force in 2023 to manage CCSFS’s Space Launch Complex-14, where it’s now building a new payload processing facility sized to accommodate both vehicles. And to complete its full reusability system, the company is also developing an offshore recovery platform. Pathfinder has a much shorter timeline to the launch pad. Stoke is targeting early 2027 for Pathfinder’s debut launch, which the company plans to send to orbit with a customer payload. If that’s successful, Stoke hopes to fly multiple Pathfinder missions throughout 2027 and 2028 while Block 2 development and testing continue in parallel. [...] “We are humbled by the trust our investors and customers have placed in us in pursuit of this critical generational challenge,” said Andy Lapsa, Stoke CEO and co-founder. “This investment enables us to scale toward delivering the capability and cadence our customers require.” Nova Pathfinder is Stoke’s first orbital launch vehicle (the largest first rocket ever undertaken by a U.S. launch company, according to Stoke), and is based on the same technologies the company is building into its Block 2 design. Both two-stage vehicles are being manufactured with full and rapid reusability in mind, with Pathfinder serving as the proving ground for that architecture.
