Offering a cover serviced for ASTRA Rocket Test No. 3.2 Demonstration Launch from the Pacific Spaceport Complex,
Without Payload and reaching space with a peak altitude of 390 Km, Cancelled Kodiak Alaska 15-December-2020.
December 15th, 2020 was a historic day for Astra and America, as we joined a small, elite group of privately funded companies that have made it to space. We couldn’t be more proud that our team accomplished this milestone in the face of so much adversity this year. Only three months after our last orbital launch attempt, we were back in Kodiak with the goal of a nominal first stage burn, followed by fairing separation and stage separation. We achieved all of these objectives and more!
Rocket 3.2 lifted off from the Alaskan coast on December 15th at 12:55 pm PT followed by more than two minutes of a successful first stage flight. A few seconds later, we completed a nominal stage separation and ignition of the upper stage, and blasted past the Kármán line, the border between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. Almost seven
minutes later, traveling over 16,000 miles per hour (Mach 21), Astra’s upper stage
engine shut down nominally after depleting all of its fuel. Rocket 3.2 precisely achieved its target altitude of 380 kilometers at 7.2 km/sec… just short of orbital velocity of 7.68 km/sec. (Credit: Astra)
