The Seattle-based company aims to build a '100% reusable' spacecraft capable of an ambitious 24-hour mission turnaround time.
Stoke Space believes it is now one crucial step closer to achieving its goal of developing fully-reusable rockets. If it does, it will become the only company after SpaceX to launch a system designed with no expendable rocket stages.
Hopper, for example, features a differential throttle system designed for attitude control. The regenerative cooling heat shield, meanwhile, pumps pressurized coolant through metal pores on the rocket's exterior to cool it down during reentry.points out, Elon Musk originally wanted to use regenerative cooling for SpaceX's Starship, though the company eventually opted for a more traditional design.
