Astra Space, which had two rocket launch failures on both of its tries to fly from the Space Coast announced Wednesday the likely reason for the most recent loss.
After going 0-for-2 from the Space Coast with its Rocket 3 design, Astra Space is shelving the model to focus on its future larger rocket plans, but that decision could mean NASA has to hunt for a new ride for its remaining hurricane-tracking satellites that Astra was supposed to launch.

Astra Space suffered another failure in its attempt to perform a successful launch from the Space Coast on Sunday when its second stage could not put two NASA satellites into proper orbit.
After Astra's first rocket launch from Florida failed to deliver NASA payloads to orbit, the company says an initial investigation reveals an electrical issue was the cause of the mishap.
