We're excited to announce that Stoke has been granted Right of Entry (RoE) from Space Launch Delta 45 (SLD 45) to the property just north of our existing SLC-14 launch site.
This expansion will enable the construction of a second launch site to support high-cadence launch and re-entry operations for our Nova launch vehicle. The RoE is the first step to opening more of the Eastern Range to fully and rapidly reusable launch, and we're grateful to SLD 45 for their support.
