Astra launch for NASA [NEW Live: 07.02.2022, 19:00 UTC]
New Launch Time: 19:10 UTC
New launch date because of range issues: 06.02.2022, 19:00 UTC
New launch date. Radar system was unavailable: 07.02.2022, 19:00 UTC
Main selling points for Astra are:
- rapidly launch
- from everywhere
- rocket, ground equidment and launch pad fit into two shipping cointainers
The Angry Astronaut is angry at Astra because of their communicated business model:
NEW CONTROVERSY!! Astra Space a pipedream? Or the next SpaceX?
With current numbers, it would take Astra at least 100 launches per year to break even. That number far exceeds current demand for small payload launches in 2025.
Astra used to launch from Kodiak Island, Alaska. This will be the first launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
This payload consists of four CubeSats which are destined for a 500 km low-earth orbit.
- BAMA 1 - a 1 m^2 mylar drag sail that is supposed to speed up de-orbit time from 5 years down to 2 months.
- INCA - study neutrons in LEO
- QubeSat - testing a quantum gyroscope in LEO
- R5-S1 - technology demostrator for cheaper build materials for QubeSats
Where to watch:
