Today, we're happy to announce a multi-launch agreement with Planet Labs PBC, a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth.
Providing dependable, customer-driven launch services is at the core of what we are building at Stoke. We're proud to partner with @planet , an industry pioneer that has led by example in growing and evolving commercial space. 🤝🚀

Two weeks after launch, our production satellites are progressing well through commissioning and on schedule to begin delivering Pulsar service in mid-2027.
Our test satellites are doing exactly what they were designed to do: teaching us what updates we need to make to our designs, manufacturing processes, and operations for the next batch of Pulsar satellites which are already in production today. First big software update going up this week. Will share more updates soon.

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.

We're hiring 7 top engineers in LA: flight software, flight dynamics, AI&T, mechanical, PCB, RF, and technical project lead. We build spacecraft around the mission, from a blank sheet. MERCURY ONE went blank sheet to launch qualified in 9 months. job-boards.greenhouse.io/pro…

Stage 2 has officially left the rocket factory for the last time. 😢🫡
Now in Moses Lake, WA, it will undergo cryo proof testing and then a hotfire campaign with its Andromeda engine before shipment to our launch site in Cape Canaveral, FL.

Full interview with Industrious Ventures' @TaylorCSargent at Off World to discuss the firm's approach to investing in space exploration.
Taylor on whether the Moon push survives an admin change
"I think that there's just a lot of kinda national pride behind it."
"There's a lot of kind of inspiration in kind of inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers who are gonna be following the programs much like back in the '60s and '70s, they were following Apollo."
"And so I feel pretty optimistic that with respect to the Moon specifically, there will be robust support regardless of which party comes in next."
"I don't feel that way about most things, but I definitely feel that way about lunar infrastructure."
We covered:

Amca has been awarded a contract by the @USArmy, establishing an enterprise-wide partnership with Army Materiel Command for rapid engineering, qualification, and component production.
This is the first partnership of its kind, designed to increase readiness for a priority missile system by re-engineering and improving manufacturability of critical components and subsystems.
We're grateful for the Army’s trust, urgency, and leadership, and look forward to re-engineering American industry together.

We are proud to announce that our first Otter is going to space! Announced last night at a celebration that brought together hundreds of guests from across the space industry, the launch of our first Otter marks the start of our commercial satellite servicing operations.
This is a big moment for Starfish Space. We’ve spent years developing, iterating, and proving out the key technologies required for affordable, available satellite servicing. Now we’re launching Otters, putting our satellite servicing vehicles to work for customers in orbit.
Otter is scheduled to launch no earlier than October 2026 aboard the Transporter-18 rideshare mission with SpaceX.

Last month, right around the time we officially came out of stealth, we also closed our initial $10.6 million fundraising round, led by @_DimensionCap, with participation from @IndustriousVC.
To coincide with today's press release and the official announcement of our investors, our CEO @getjonwithit has written a short blog post introducing these new partners, and how they fit into the wider Lanyon story.
