Astra’s rocket launching from Alaska in September
Astra, a California-based startup aimed at launching small satellites, successfully launched its rocket to space for the first time yesterday from Alaska, but the vehicle barely missed reaching the right speed to achieve orbit. Still, the company says the test flight was a major success and is preparing to fly its next rocket, this time with a payload on board.
“This far exceeded our team’s expectations,” Chris Kemp, Astra’s CEO, said on a press call.
