Astra’s first attempt to reach orbit ends early after rocket fails mid-flight
video of crash:
-
"Oscillations" induced instability...
I got yer "spin" right here:
The company’s stated objective with this flight was to have a nominal first stage burn, which apparently didn’t quite happen since that’s when the engine shutdown occurred. But Astra wasn’t planning to reach orbit with this launch. And it says its preliminary data showed the rocket performed very well.
Other than the fact it was out of control and crashed, it went just fine.
