About
Astra Space is a space technology company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Alameda, California, that pursued a cost-focused approach to small satellite launch services. The company went public via SPAC merger in 2021 (Nasdaq: ASTR), raising capital to commercialize its Rocket 3 vehicle. However, a series of launch failures in 2021 and 2022 — including the failure of Rocket 3.3 carrying a NASA payload in August 2022 — led the company to suspend all commercial launch operations in late 2022, retire the Rocket 3 series, and announce a strategic pivot toward spacecraft propulsion systems.
