The funding announcement was paired with the debut of an up‑sized Nova launch vehicle, a larger iteration of the company’s fully reusable rocket, reported by SpaceNews. TechCrunch noted Stoke’s intent to challenge SpaceX by delivering rockets that can be reflown regularly, and the larger vehicle is described as a step toward matching SpaceX’s rapid turnaround cadence.
