250 years ago, a bold idea took flight. Today, we carry it upward.
@Astra is proud to build and provide American space products and services — responsive, sovereign, and made to serve the nation that made it possible, and its allies.
Happy Fourth of July from Astra.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: @Astra has built a mobile launch system designed to send rockets into space within 48 hours, with the rocket and launch equipment transported in standard 40-foot shipping containers.
@Kemp, CEO of Astra Space, sees sovereign access to space as critical to national security. With launch capacity constrained and traditional spaceports tied to fixed infrastructure, Astra wants to give the United States and its allies the ability to rapidly deploy launch capability around the world.
The vision is a distributed network of mobile spaceports that strengthens resilience and deterrence and could be established almost anywhere, even in a Walmart parking lot.

Nearly a decade ago, Adam and I started Astra with a simple idea: launch shouldn’t be limited to a handful of places on Earth.
Today, our next-generation rocket is sitting in the English countryside after crossing the Atlantic in standard shipping containers.
The future of launch is everywhere.
Astra’s next-generation rocket just crossed the Atlantic.
Rocket 4.0 arrived in the UK the same way it’s designed to launch: in standard shipping containers.
Mobile. Containerized. Orbital. The future of launch is everywhere.

Congratulations to the Artemis II crew, and to all the teams at @NASA and beyond who made this possible.
An inspiring moment for everyone who cares about space.
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.
