Stoke Space is developing a fully reusable rocket designed to reuse both its first and second stages. The first stage lands like Falcon 9, while the second stage returns to Earth after delivering its payload using a unique engine with 30 thrust chambers. Its actively cooled heat shield uses...

I wish then the greatest success. I'm going to interested to see what the mass penalty is for the second stage.

@SpaceSector001 Falcon 9 / Neutron size?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's still in development. Using CGI and AI to simulate the end product is much easier than actually building and executing. That being said, good luck to them.

Go Stoke! Hope we see the real thing land soon.

Stoke SpaceのNovaロケットの話だね。 投稿の動画は、2段目(上段)を精密にパワードランディングで回収するコンセプトのやつだと思う。 SpaceX(Falcon 9のブースター着陸とかStarshipのベリーフロップ)は「下側」の従来寄りアプローチで、これは「上側」の新しい試みって感じで合ってる。 君の指摘について 「母船(上段)を海に落っこちる従来方式でよくない?」「無重力下の精製物(micro-g製造品)ぐらいしか、こんな丁寧に持ち帰るコストが合わない」 これはめっちゃ鋭い指摘だよ。 実際その通りな部分が大きい。 なぜ「海に落とす」のが主流だったか •上段は軌道速度で再突入するから熱がエグい。回収システム(ヒートシールド + 着陸脚 + 制御系)を積むとペイロードが減る。 •1回使い捨てでも、打ち上げ単価がまだ高かった時代は「新品作った方が安い」ケースが多かった。 •Falcon 9の上段が今も基本的に expend(使い捨てor制御落下)なのも、同じ理由。 でも「丁寧に持ち帰る」価値が出てくるケース Stoke Spaceが狙ってるのはまさにここ: 1Downmass(宇宙→地球への貨物輸送)
これが一番大きい。無重力で作った結晶・タンパク質・半導体材料・医薬品原料とかは、着水の衝撃や海水で壊れやすい。精密パワードランディングなら陸上で優しく受け取れて、回収船も不要。
Stokeはこれを明確に売りにしていて「space cargo logistics」「debris/asset capture and return」と書いてる。 2完全再利用による長期コスト低減
たとえ最初はペイロードが減っても、機体を何十回も飛ばせば元が取れる。Falcon 9の1段目再利用が証明したように。
Stokeは「minimal refurbishment(最小整備)」「24時間以内に再飛行可能」を目指してる。金属製アクティブ冷却ヒートシールド(液体水素で冷やす)がその鍵で、タイルみたいに毎回点検・交換しなくていいのが強み。 3中型市場での差別化
Starshipは「巨大で火星向け・大量輸送」路線。Stoke Novaは中型(LEOで再利用時約3トン)で、GTOや高エネルギー軌道に直接投入しやすく、精密着陸しやすい設計。用途によって住み分けられる。 現実的な壁 •まだ開発中(2026年後半に初飛行予定らしい)。動画もAI生成っぽいって指摘が多い。 •上段再利用はSpaceXも昔検討して一旦諦めた難易度。熱・構造・制御の全部が厳しい。 •ペイロード減少 vs 再利用回数のトレードオフが本当に成立するかは、実際の飛行データが出るまでわからない。 まとめると 君の言う通り、今の標準的な衛星打ち上げだけなら、海に落とす(または制御落下)で十分なケースはまだ多い。
でも宇宙製造・材料科学・将来的な宇宙物流が本格化したら、「丁寧に持ち帰れる」能力が大きな競争優位になる。これはStokeが一番明確に狙ってるポイントだね。 SpaceXのStarshipも上段再利用を目指してるけど、アプローチが全然違う(タイル+フラップ+巨大機体)。両方成功したら面白い時代になる。

Not to put a dampener on a paper tiger, but call me back when the 2nd stage makes it back to Earth in one piece.

Let me know when they have more than AI generated videos of aspirational launches. Someone once said prototypes are easy… having a production line is hard

The Space Shuttle was Cool This just looks like Grandma's BOB She has in her under ware drawer.. BOB = (Battery Operated Boyfriend).. And the World Cheers when Granny pulls it out and it takes off.. and more Cheers when Granny hits the spot and it's a wet touch down..

Curious how the 30-chamber engine will perform in practice 🚀🔧Impressive approach reusing both stages could cut costs dramatically.

The only thing Stoke Space have developed at the moment is a good AI generated video at the moment. While SpaceX has already proven the technological expertise which goes all the way from concept, to fast trials, improvement, and production, complete with reusability, and made it a reality. That’s reality versus AI generated video, as far as I can see.

It’s an innovative design. Let’s hope all of that innovation works as intended. If it does, it’ll be terrific.

That's a great idea! If it succeeds, it could lead to a drastic cost reduction for space exploration. Good luck.

Can't wait to see this fly, especially the upper stage coming back to land. It is such innovative tech.

The active cooling concept is elegant. Eliminates ablative refurbishment between flights. But 30 thrust chambers on the second stage… that's a lot of plumbing to manage reliably.

SpaceX once considered recovering the second stage of its rocket, but ultimately decided against it because it wasn't worth the effort.
