Stoke Space

“This is definitely the first job where I’ve had this much ownership.” For engineer Lucy Fitzgerald, that ownership resulted in a state-of-the-art rocket engine test stand with two side-by-side engine bays, each capable of supporting up to 200,000 pounds of thrust.    What can extreme ownership do for your career? Join us at Stoke! We’re #hiring 🚀 - Structures Engineer: https://bit.ly/3Yq0aUG   - Propulsion Engineer (Engine Layout RE): https://bit.ly/3YIAfZx  - Propulsion Engineer (Turbomachinery): https://bit.ly/4hn66q7   - Thermal and Fluids Analyst: https://bit.ly/4fHUext

Our test team creating a bit of “weather” at our test site in Moses Lake! This is activation testing this week of our new vertical stage 1 engine test stand. Our team has worked tirelessly to build this state-of-the-art facility... and soon will get to see it come to life! 

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.
