Скачать или смотреть Why Astra Cancelled Its Rocket 3 Line & What's Next

Reaching orbit is an immensely difficult task that few companies have managed to successfully complete on a consistent basis. Astra Space knows this very well with a list of attempted launches over the past few years. While the company has managed to reach orbit, they have also failed multiple times. This includes the most recent launch of LV0010 which suffered a second stage failure.

These continued issues combined with a few other factors have pushed the company to cancel its rocket 3 line and move on to the next iteration. Specifically, Astra is trying to transition to the next version of its launch system and is working with customers to re-manifest all payloads onto the new launch system, designed for higher capacity, reliability, and production rate.

While we still haven’t received more information on the exact cause of the previous launch failure, it’s clear that Astra is not happy with the results and working on a long term solution rather than patching up errors every other launch. Here I will go more in-depth into the cancelation of this rocket line, what Astra is going to work on, and what to expect in the coming months from the company.
