Astra Space and global launch services provider Spaceflight announced a multi-launch contract. This agreement provides Spaceflight with launch opportunities using Astra's launch services through 2025. Through this commitment, Spaceflight expands its launch vehicle partner portfolio, offering its customers additional launch opportunities through Astra missions. Astra gains a partner that offers a consistent stream of satellite customers seeking launches. Astra delivered its first commercial payload into Earth orbit in 2021, just five years after it was founded in 2016. Astra was the first space launch company to be publicly traded on Nasdaq. Based in Seattle, Spaceflight has successfully launched hundreds of satellites and is a part of the Mitsui & Co. portfolio, operating as an independent, U.S.-based company.
