The Zenith is an full-flow staged combustion rocket engine in development by Stoke Space, to be used for the first stage of the Nova rocket. As of December 2024, the engine has been successfully hot-fired on a test stand[1], but has not yet flown. It aims to be reusable, and Stoke Space plan to first fly it in 2026[2].
