NASA mission suffers shock failure! Astra rocket crashes, 4 satellites lost
A mission funded by NASA, which was being carried out by California-based aerospace company Astra, failed mid-launch. Astra was delivering four satellites into orbit around Earth. It was the company’s first ever launch mission dealing with operational satellites. The NASA mission was also Astra’s first ever launch from Florida’s Cape Canaveral launchpad, which is located at the John F. Kennedy Space Center. The fallout was immediate for the company. After the mission failed, the company’s shares fell 26 per cent.
