Astra's comeback for the ages:

Astra appoints missile defense pioneer Dr. Alan Weston to lead rocket program:

Transporter-13 is scheduled to lift off today carrying multiple Astra spacecraft engines into orbit. Proud to support our partners on this SpaceX mission.

The Transporter-12 mission launched today includes payloads using the Astra Spacecraft Engine. Congrats to the @SpaceX team and our partners aboard!.

We're proud to be named in this year’s annual power ranking of top U.S. launch companies — a recognition made possible by the hard work of our team and the trust of our partners:

A Rocket 4 upper stage tank heads out for qualification testing. These qualification tests, similar to those completed by the first stage tank for Rocket 4, aim to ensure it can handle stresses and loads well beyond what it will experience during launch.

On Veterans Day, we extend our deepest thanks to all who have served, including our own family, friends, partners, and colleagues. 📸: @TheFavoritist

Department of Defense awards Astra contract valued up to $44 Million:

A Rocket 4 first stage tank returns to the factory after passing qualification testing. This qualification confirms that the primary structure of Rocket 4 can withstand stress and loads far beyond those seen in flight and is a major milestone in the overall launch system design.

Transporter-11 is launching today from @SLDelta30 via a @SpaceX Falcon 9 with 116 payloads including two Astra Spacecraft Engines for two different customers:
