Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 15, 2022, Chris Kemp, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Astra Space, Inc. (“Astra” or “we”) shared through his personal twitter account, @Kemp, information related to our new launch system and the design of our Rocket 4 series of launch vehicles. These tweets are specifically set forth below:

“Rocket diameter [for the Rocket 4 launch vehicle] has been increased to 72” & length has been increased slightly. Upgraded engines. The first and upper stage share a common 72” tank architecture. The launch system is mobile and the rocket can still be transported inside two standard shipping containers.”

“Yes. We are considering a “hammerhead” option for larger satellites.”

With respect to Mr. Kemp’s tweets, we want to clarify the following: (a) dimensions related to our Rocket 4 launch vehicle are in comparison to our Rocket 3 series launch vehicle; and (b) we are exploring a hammerhead or other alternate larger fairing geometries as options at an additional fee for satellites that require larger fairing volumes.

We further want to expand on Mr. Kemp’s statement regarding the mobility of our launch system. In his tweet (restated above), Mr. Kemp referred specifically to our launch vehicle (e.g. the rocket). While we expect that only two standard shipping containers will be needed to transport the rocket, additional containers or shipments will be needed to transport the launch system, some of which will contain components and parts of the launch system that we expect will generally remain at the launch site to be used in connection with a series of our launches.

Mr. Kemp also tweeted that only five privately funded companies have been able to launch rocket, noting SpaceX, RocketLabUSA, Astra and Virgin Orbit. Mr. Kemp meant that there were only four privately funded U.S. companies that have been able to launch a rocket into low earth orbit.

Neither Mr. Kemp’s personal twitter account, @Kemp, nor the personal twitter accounts of any of our other executive officers: @MartinAttiq; @aplondon; @benjaminblyon, and @kelynbrannon, are authorized or official communication channels for information about Astra Space or its business operations.
