Stoke Space

We hosted some special guests at our test site recently: 32 girls from local schools joined us for a day of tours and demonstrations to learn about STEM careers as part of IGNITE Worldwide. Ever see a tomato frozen by liquid nitrogen, then dropped from the top of a test stand? The girls did! They also learned what it’s like working on rockets in a Q&A session with our VP of test Katherine Cruz and test engineers Brittany Feldman and Sophia Yu. Stoke is proud to partner with IGNITE on their mission to close the gender gap in STEM. #womeninSTEM #girlsinSTEM #IGNITEProgramWorldwide?

Activation testing on our Stage 1 engine vertical test stand is well underway at Stoke’s Moses Lake Test Site. Here’s the water deluge system doing its thing, ready to support the next phase of our full-flow staged combustion engine testing. ????

We recently marked a significant milestone for Stoke Space as we retired our S2E v1, the second stage engine that has been central to our development efforts for rapid reusability. With thousands of seconds of test time and successful validation of our heat shield under full re-entry conditions, S2E v1 has set the foundation for our next phase. As we look ahead, the lessons learned, and data gathered from this engine will drive us toward even greater achievements in sustainable space exploration.?

Congratulations, Stoke class of summer 2024! Our interns get to work on rocket hardware that is critical to launch -- on engineering teams including mechanical, test, avionics, software, and manufacturing. We’re now accepting applications for our summer 2025 internships. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/euBssTW8

Stage 1 engine test stand is about to get lit. ????

An awesome week of testing last week. We ran some pretty stressing tests on the engine, and it ran like a champ. It's really exciting to see!
