About this service
Nova is a fully reusable medium launch vehicle that offers affordable access to, through, and from space. It achieves a 20x reduced cost to orbit through its 100% reusability. The service includes a reusable upper-stage vehicle that provides on-demand access to any orbit at any time, enabling dynamic space operations such as capture, reposition, long-dwell operations, and return of assets, as well as space cargo and logistics missions. The company emphasizes full reusability built in from the start and aims to slash atmospheric impact by 98% compared to current rockets.
