About this launch
First launch of Stoke Space’s Nova launch vehicle. Asteroid mining technologies company AstroForge's Autonomy-1 will fly on this launch. Autonomy-1 will be the first full-scale flight demonstration of AstroForge's own spacecraft artificial intelligence model, Solo. The spacecraft will be tested for functionality in orbit without being commanded from the ground, and will transmit telemetry and science data back to Earth without human interference, including from COMPASS, a heliophysics science payload from NASA Goddard.
