Shirkadda Stoke Space, oo ku taalla dalka Mareykanka, ayaa maanta sheegtay inay heshay $1 bilion oo lacag cusub, iyadoo diiradda saartay inay ka dhalaasho rakibidda roobaadkeeda ugu horreeya ee sanadka soo socda.
Heshiiska lacagta iyo horumarinta roobaadka
Shirkadda Stoke Space, oo ku taalla gobolka Washington, ayaa sheegtay inay heshay $1 bilion oo lacag cusub, taas oo ka dhigaysa guud ahaan $2.3 bilion oo ay heshay. Heshiiskan ayaa ka dhacay muddada Series E, kaas oo loo hoggaamiyay Point72 Ventures iyo Spark Capital.
Lacagtan cusub waxay u ogolaanaysaa shirkadda inay horumariso roobaadkeeda cusub ee Block 2, kaas oo awood u leh inuu qaado 15 ton oo macdanta ah ilaa qorraxda hoose ee dhaqaaqa, iyadoo roobaadka hore ee Nova Pathfinder uu awood u leeyahay inuu qaado 3 ton oo macdanta ah.
Tixraaca roobaadka iyo qorshayaasha
Roobaadka Nova Pathfinder wuxuu leeyahay qaybta hore ee loo isticmaalo saddex engine oo Zenith ah, iyadoo qaybta sare ay leedahay 24 qalab oo qorraxda hoose u qabata. Stoke Space waxay diyaar u tahay inay roobaadka u soo gudbisay Cape Canaveral, Florida, iyo Moses Lake, Washington, si loo baaro.

Stoke Space has secured $1 billion in a new Series E funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $2.3 billion. The Washington-based launch company plans to debut its first orbital launch next year while developing a larger Block 2 version of its Nova rocket.
Massive Funding Boost Powers Ambitious Growth
Stoke Space announced Tuesday that it has raised another significant round of funding, $1 billion, as it makes a final push toward its debut launch next year. The Washington-based launch company also revealed plans for a larger medium-lift vehicle.
With the Series E funding round, co-led by Point72 Ventures and Spark Capital, Stoke Space brought its total amount of capital raised to $2.3 billion, a staggering amount for a company that has yet to attempt an orbital launch.
Nova Rocket Set for Next-Generation Block 2 Upgrade
The quantity of new funding will enable the company to accelerate work on a larger 'Block 2' version of the Nova rocket, capable of lifting 15 metric tons to low-Earth orbit in a fully reusable configuration, said Stoke co-founder and Chief Executive Andy Lapsa.
We have already started development on a larger vehicle, and we felt like now is the time to pour gas on that fire and really start full-force development of the larger vehicle, and so that's the reason for the timing, Lapsa said in an interview.
Testing Timeline and Technical Specifications Revealed
First up, Nova Pathfinder will have a lift capacity of 3 metric tons in fully reusable mode and up to 7 tons in a fully expendable configuration. The rocket's first stage is powered by seven Zenith engines, with a combined thrust of 700,000 pounds.
After completing an extensive set of structural tests earlier this summer on the first stage, Lapsa said Stoke will ship this stage pretty soon to the company's launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The upper stage will be shipped to Moses Lake, Washington, for structural tests and a hot fire test.
