How it happened

Astra Space was a small-rocket launch company aiming for low-cost, high-frequency orbital launches, valued at ~$3.9B after its 2021 SPAC debut. Repeated launch failures and a pivot toward spacecraft engines, combined with dwindling cash, crushed its valuation. Its founders took it private at a near-zero price in 2024 and it was delisted, down roughly 99%.
