Astra's NASA mission suffers failure, loss of weather satellites

By Joey Roulette

WASHINGTON – Rocket agency Astra House’s mission to ship tiny weather-monitoring NASA satellites to orbit on Sunday failed after a second-stage booster engine shut down early in area, based on the corporate’s livestream of the mission.

The failure occurred roughly 10 minutes after a profitable liftoff of Astra’s Rocket 3.3 from a launchpad on the Cape Canaveral House Drive Station in Florida.

“We had a nominal first-stage flight. Nevertheless, the upper-stage engine did shutdown early and we didn't ship our payloads to orbit,” stated Astra’s livestream commentator Amanda Durk Frye.
