How is Astra returning?

Astra is making its shocking return by showing how they are getting prepared for the launch of their rocket 4, Astra have said that rocket 4 has completed its qualification, they have also mentioned that it is a major milestone in the launch system design itself, meaning success rate of rocket 4 will be higher than its predecessors. The previous fleet had a very low success rate, rocket 3 had 2 successes, with 5 failures during its service.

Will Astra make a comeback?

It is not known for sure if Astra will make a comeback, at least a successful one, they have struggled a ton in previous years, but all they have done is came back and continued no matter how much they fell, lets hope this or next year they can have more of a success rate than previously.

Astra will be continuing with extending their launch capacity with Saxavord Spaceport, meaning we will still potentially see rocket 4 launch from Shetland Isles, UK!
