Stoke Space Nova Pathfinder launch vehicle
Nova Pathfinder is Stoke Space's initial Nova flight configuration and technology demonstrator for orbital missions and eventual full reuse. Its first stage uses seven Zenith full-flow staged-combustion engines burning liquefied natural gas and oxygen. The hydrogen/oxygen Andromeda upper-stage engine is integrated with an actively cooled heat shield. The current manufacturer page advertises 2,500 kg to low Earth orbit.
