Imagine spending millions of dollars and years of hard work to build a functioning satellite and then hiring the underdog to deliver it to save a few bucks.
Like the guvmnt - aircraft maintained by the lowest bidder.
sad but u right bro
Should have had Bezos do it. Get it!? Because the only thing he's got into orbit is his ego.
@@eamonia bezos' big space achievement is giving captin kirk a few seconds of weightlessness.
@@yehimstone5492 I can't wait until someone else comes along and offers Mr. Kirk an opportunity to go to REAL space. Not that I'm disparaging the once in a lifetime experience that so many yern for, that he had the opportunity to take part in (breaking the Karmen line) but I just really hope that he gets to go to REAL space.
The failure occurs about 10 seconds after 7:20.

@6:30, did you notice the impact with something? Or the upper stage tank blew out. Only thing I can think of.
Getting off this planet and into orbit is incredibly hard. I hope everything works out and problems can be fixed. Rooting for all spacefaring companies to have many successes now and in the future!! Bump in the road, Astra. Keep moving forward!
And yet, SpaceX make it look so incredibly easy! 😁😎
Everyone else angrily shakes fist!! 🤣
@@arturmeinild2461 same as the Russians …but still they had Lot of failures too
I hope their budget is cut to shreds because of this epic fail. I can throw my own tax money in the ocean. Let them splash their own cash.
@@arturmeinild2461 SpaceX had their share of failures. It happens. The key is to never make the same mistake twice.
It sucks to see a failure. I know how much each launch means to every team member. I feel for you all.
BS. This company knew or had a pretty good idea it wasnt gonna launch properly but cuz of deadlines and bureaucracy etc, they decided just to launch a bunk rocket. Theres a reason Astra doesnt get contracts... Just stealing money from the American Taxpayers....
NASA should learn a thing or two from Indians, India has fantastic launch records
@@Judaspriest66624 yep. spaceX is doing things so cheap too. And in future spaceX will be more cheaper than isro. But ISRO is doing great. And no hate for NASA for being expensive .

Man, failure only makes you better, I know this feels really bad and rough. But hoapfully this group gets to keep trying. This whole team is doing amazing work. Keep at it!!!!!!
I hope none of my tax dollars went into this flop. But so, I hope somebody gets fired -- somebody high up!
Second engine failure one minute before insertion. Shame. Rocket science is HARD! Better luck next launch, Astra.✌️🖖🇺🇸
You are right rocket science is hard as aircraft aviation industry. Ask Boeing!. Shame!. Better luck next time!. Perhaps you can save some souls. 🇪🇺 😇🤗🖖👌
1 minute in launch terms is a lifetime!
Best they leave it to the pros...nasa is a waste of money
It’s only hard to NASA anymore. They have more failures with active payloads than anyone. Yea they been doing it longer but launches are happening at a exponential rate today compared to before and NASA is wasting our tax dollars on stuff they have long been proven can be more efficient when given to a 3rd party. Stop wasting our money if you want to keep using it. SpaceX seems to have rocketry down pretty solid considering they land their 1st stages back on the planet. With active payloads they have what 1-2 failures? Out of 100’s of launches?
NASA should stick with SpaceX !
Such bad news… I don't know how much longer Astra can carry on with so many failures. The consequences are also really different when you're carrying and losing a real payload, and there will no doubt be people blaming those who took a chance on Astra for this launch. What company or organization is going to risk their payload with them now? I'm sure they will figure it out eventually given the funding and launch opportunities, but I'm worried that no one will entrust them with a launch now. I still hope they can recover from this, but it's not looking good. *edit:* they do have contracts for several more launches, including two more for NASA's TROPICS mission. This was 2 out 6 satellites for TROPICS, and they have 2 more launches planned. I don't know how this failure will affect these contracts, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a clause that let NASA back out from remaining launches in case of failure.
All about insurance. If the insurance companies payout, they can build more satellites.
Will the payload get back to the ground?
nasa is becomming a joke. Elon is our man if he can't do it no one can.
@@Dularr not always true but yes insurance pays for the loss but insurance can not cover the loss time. Some of these satellites take a long time to build then time for integration, getting a spot for delivering payload to space ext. takes a long time and a lot of man power to setup
This was a real payload.
Appreciate all there hard work, space is hard hopefully they’re able to stick with it
I'm very sorry to hear of this setback. Just keep trying and never give up. Greetings from Arizona.
As the saying goes, "You learn more from a failure than when everything goes perfect"
Was this the second failure they had recently?
Unfortunately, they are having more failures than success. They have had 10 launches and only 2 successes. That is a 20% success rate (although i will give them the first two launches - also failures, but they were the test systems for their rocket). Still a very high failure rate.
Hopefully they can get up to speed, at this rate I’m not sure clients (or future clients) are going to be up for rolling the dice and hope it works.
what a stupid fucking statement.
they definitely can learn something from the Chinese !
It seems they have issues with stability. On board view of each flight show much more control movements than you would expect.
I think this is due to being a really small rocket. Much more influenced by atmospheric conditions than something like a F9
@@iandonnelly959 The excessive control movements were evident in the second stage which is well above interference with the atmosphere. I'm guessing that there was combustion instability within the bell which will create unwanted side thrust. "The second stage engine shut down early" they say...looked like it was more like "the second stage engine blew up". "Shutting down early" makes it sound like it was just something little....that engine looked like it failed with a bunch of fuel being sprayed once the chamber let go.
Hey...the reason it costs a lot to put stuff into space is it's HARD to do it. SpaceX makes it look routine but is far from that and I understand people wanting to have more than one company able to launch satellites, but people funding these little and so far unsuccessful attempts make me wonder why they didn't just contract with SpaceX in the first place and save a LOT of money...plus get their satellites into orbit.
As that 2nd stage burnt fuel it got lighter. I wonder if the instability occurred at that point due to changing centre of mass ?
@@recoilrob324 Well Tropics didn't use a spaceX rideshare because spacex doesn't fly to this orbit. So to fly on spacex would have cost a full launch price which is like 10x more expensive I believe. But also, probably wouldn't have failed lol. And I'm guessing some sort of oscillation in the second stage thrust vector control, but we'll see when the data is reviewed!
@@recoilrob324 Rocket Lab seem to be able to do it on a consistent basis
I am so sorry this happened, I am sure they all worked hard on this prep and launch - what a bummer. Commiserations to Astra. Hopefully they will resolve the issue and try again soon. Shame the satellites were lost I guess. Margin for error is zero.
It looked like the second stage didnt even ignite to its full power to begin with, going by the amount of glow and exhaust flare coming from the second stage engine?
Very sad to see. Hopefully Astra has enough resources for another few tries. As much as I'm a fan of SpaceX, it would be terrific to see the US have a variety of private launch providers covering all market segments.
Although it is a worn out and overused phrase, when it comes to creating a vigorous space industry, diversity is indeed a strength. This country needs Astra and the other launch providers to succeed so the industry can continue to be seeded with new ideas and innovation.
Yeah but how much money has to be burned before they get it? Hope it's soon
I love Astra's system. It's perfect for these types of missions. They sure need a win right now though.
I recall even SpaceX was only one launch away from bankruptcy at some point. Not an industry for the faint of heart for sure.
You are correct about having "diversity." Someone needs to fail so that others may learn from them.
nasa has been around a long time, space x not so much, has done a hell of a lot better.
Hang in there team. Always rooting for the space industry to succeed. You are definitely up there.
up where? up where the earth's curve is concave? 3:29
@@yellowcat1310 dumb.
@@yellowcat1310 What does that tell you?
@@Yusuke_Denton that they use a gopro and can not rely on a normal camera. they only use a camera that shows a curve, at least at a certain angle. then no matter what, no matter how many times they see the concave portions of the video, they will still swear that the convex parts "show the curve of the earth"
what does it tell you?
space x much better, nasa a waste money.
The second stage had a catastrophic failure with forty-five seconds or so left in the burn. The velocity was around 6430 m/sec but they needed 7450 m/sec. When the bear bites, he bites hard!!
7:29 Time codes aren't difficult.
That’s roughly 14500 mph at an altitude of 350 miles? How is that possible?
The ISS orbits at about 250 miles while traveling at 17,500 mph. It only takes it about 90 minutes to orbit the Earth.

@@jefsel881 That's how orbits work sir!
Failure is expected. Cutting away from it to save face and ending on a single monotone sentence doesn't build confidence. It makes you look pathetic.
Ugh, almost there! Keep on Astra, you will learn something new for sure which will let you improve your rocket.
What wonderful images of our planet the Astra rocket is showing us 😃
Expensive photos
Pretty pics at the expense of seeing their payload burn up in our atmosphere!
I want to know where that microphone was that recorded all of that rocket noise after it launched. Was it on the rocket or just dubbed in??
Failure occurs at around 7:28 when the velocity counts back from 6575m/s. You can tell it's falling to earth by the look on the operator's face.
Falling to earth you say at altitude +500km
@@Slapwapy Yes, all objects in lower orbit fall towards the earth at some point. Basic science dude.
@@turanamo Crap load of stuff is then going to start dropping
@@Slapwapy Nope, which is why attitude determination and control subsystem (ADCS) in conjunction with telemetry correction is used to offset drag effects by a booster.
@@Slapwapy Do you not understand how orbits work?
The velocity just stops and starts slowly going down and dude just stops talking..Damn. That was an expensive failure. Just a couple more M/S they would have been at orbit velocity. Ouch
Don't stop learning and improving. You have already made it this far. A few more kinks to workout and you will have a great product.
Well that’s an expensive lesson to learn, but hopefully everything will be reviewed and they will be able to correct the problem.
Great launch guys. At least we got some amazing views. Space is hard. I'm sure you can analyze the data from this and put it towards making the next launch perfect.
This bodes well for Space X receiving even more contracts I would imagine.
Not spaceX but ISRO lol
The satellites were $4 Mn each, there were 2. They had a very specific orbit-need and time-need. The launcher arranges payload insurance, but NASA certainly loses time (and insurance goes up). You just cannot use $60 Mn rockets to launch these payloads. Astra needs to improve, but there are already other small rocket launchers (Northrup bought one, SpaceX Falcon 1 used to do this work). It is a matter of scaling cost to risk.
Rocket Lab
This just proves how far ahead space-x is
all these companies do is steal from taxpayers and start their own civilization on these other continents they don't tell us about. NASA was started by a Nazi scientist. Loot at Hitlers maps of forbidden continents
Enjoyed that moment when all went quiet.
Hard work pays off and if you end up failing you learn from any mistakes and try again. The simple fact that you are transporting payloads into space is a phenomenal success so go back to the drawing board to find out what went wrong and correct those mistakes so they don't happen again in the future. Great job.
No, that isn't how this works, companies are not going to rely on you if you fail. They will go with proven providers. As they should. This is extremely sad as we need more competition to drive innovation, but you can't have a failure like this occur.
No, hard work pays off down the road, Laziness pays off Now!
They just lost satellites 😐
It is a bit sad that it was just a quick, it failed, thanks for watching. They could have stuck with the broadcast, show the staff, show a presenter who would describe what has happened or not happened. Explain what the procedure is for this eventuality. What group takes over now to investigate, do they try for a controlled re-entry burn up or is it stuck in low orbit for months or years. I don't expect them to have all the answers but to just say, that didn't work, see ya, was a bit disappointing. After all, how we handle failure is just as important as how we handle success. Now all we will hear for quite some time is reporters filling the silence with their opinions, conjecture and guesses. Surely there are plans in place for this sort of thing. A failure will bring more public attention than a success so there is an opportunity to present a calm, informed and informative viewpoint. If it is just left to reporters to fill in the silence then the situation may not be painted in the best light.

Totally agree with your assessment; I was viewing the launch and can't describe the letdown I had experienced.
It left me feeling that this was almost a declaration of power over me... and when it went wrong then the discussion was curtailed. I did not feel a part of this at all.
They did tell us what happened and will likely collect logs and try to get a more precise cause so that the risk for a similar problem can be reduced for future missions. Speculating further can be left to mainstream media who are experts at this sort of thing. NASA will, as usual, give a little bit more details later at a press conference but some of it is for internal specs only. This is normal and seems rational.
@@nerfherder5211 I totally understand that they will not have all the answers 1 minute after the failure. That process takes a long time to work out root cause if it is even possible. What I am saying is that they could have stayed with the viewers and given them some explanation of what will happen next, what their standard process is in the event of a failure. Basically there was a reasonable chance of failure and so having a plan in place that was better than, it failed, thanks for watching, would have been nice.
If a major sporting event ended on a contentious umpire call or if there was an injury in the final seconds. I am sure the commentators wouldn't just say "wow, that's bad, thanks for watching" and switch off the coverage. They would replay what they had, they would talk about the rules, what was done the last time this happened, what the options are, etc. When you have a captivated audience you make the best use of that, you don't just throw it away and hope that the media paints a favourable picture.
Astra is a young company and it's learning a lot from this failures. They will make it, they came from far. All the best team Astra!
Yes...
@DontWorryDiaperJoeGotYouCovered The "mode" of failure was different. Which means they solved the previous issues.
Always a tough thing to see. Hope they can bounce back!
They should buy some SpaceX rockets and put Astra stickers on them.
It might sounds funny, but i can imagine in the future there will be OEM rocket manufacturers and a lot of small integrators only rebadging the same products. It's industry standard in aviation to buy a plane and brand it to your airline. Maybe in the future there will be more launch providers using spacex or astra rockets to launch satellites for cheap.
😂 I was thinking of the same thing.
Nah they’re to proud to do that and rather waste more taxpayers money on dead ends,fire them all.
F in the chat for the NASA and Astra. Hopefully you can keep at it. You were close!
Close only counts in horse shoes and handgrnads. =)

ALWAYS ROOTING FOR THE UNDERDOG....CMON ASTRA! Were pulling for you and hope you succeed in the next one and the future!
He really said thank you astra for the live stream
Argh they were so close! Astra can't catch a break
Upper stage failed approx. 70 seconds early with a max speed of 6575 m/s which is just infuriatingly close to orbit. There was a big cloud, presumably unburned propellant, which is never a great sign. Perhaps the turbopump thought it was on an Antares and failed or there was a fuel/ox supply issue. Props to Astra for the transparency and straight up telling everyone that the payload didn't get into orbit.
I’m not a scientist, Astra surely will figure out what did wrong just putting out some theories from my civilian perspective.
RIP LV10, better luck next time Astra!
It is their fault......inferior engineering....
There's no turbopump on the second stage, it's a pressure fed engine.

By looking at the cloud of unburned propellent around 07:25 , I think one side of the turbopump failed, the the engine shut down, and the rocket begun to tumble.
The speed of the rocket was very close to the orbital speed of 7,780 m/s but not yet there, so sadly the rocket and payload will burn up in the atmosphere.
The failure of a turbopump (my personal idea here) is a common occurrence as it is the most critical component of a rocket engine. My opinion is that Astra should endure and troubleshoot the failure and try once more; they get so close to success that would be silly to let it go.
Auguri of success on your next try!
I think second stage’s Aether engine is pressure fed. Sad to see failure anyway.
That was Astranomically a bummer .
Unfortunately, this stuff can just happen. SpaceX do a great job at making sure stuff like this don’t happen, but they’ve had there fair share of problems along the way. I’m sure this issue can be resolved and make a successful delivery next launch.
My question would be how honest the company was about the risks, SpaceX was very honest about the risks in the early days.
Give'em time. They have learned.
That's sad, all the hard work everyone involved puts into these projects! No doubt, it is disheartening.
Yeah, but they suck. They're struggling to practice an art that was nearly perfected HALF A CENTURY ago.
@@jl5392 wow thats kinda ignorant! They suck? Really? Factors change… everything from the thickness of the atmosphere to the moister in the air to the position of the planets and the gravitational pull of those planets on this specific day and time need to be calculated.

Isn't this the second payload delivery failure for Astra?
I believe third. DARPA, previous NASA mission and this one. In total 7/9 failures giving them 1/5 success rate.
I checked, one space force and two NASA missions lost. DARPA wasn't launched as they missed the timeline.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l 👍
Would be more professional if they continued to comment on what is happening even though it was obvious there was a problem. They will investigate and fix the problem. They seemed so discouraged they had difficulty talking about it. Failures are not uncommon and they need to have the ability to accept that and carry on professionally.
Wait are you saying that nasa doesn’t have the ability to accept failure and carry on? Lol bro, they do the investigation first, decide affirmatively what the problem is, and then comment. Even if what you think you see is obvious, that’s not how investigations work. And it would be ridiculous to comment as they are investigating as the information delivered in piecemeal wouldn’t present the correct picture of what failed.
They won't comment on American failures
@@ajokpaniovojoel1049 they use to be much more professional when failures occurred. Maybe because it was a private company’s vehicle the representative didn’t continue to communicate, I’m not sure. If go back and watch some of the big NASA failures like the Space Shuttle Challenger failure where astronauts died, they continued to talk even after it became obvious there was catastrophic failure.
7:53 If you turn on CC you can see someone says, "Hey Michael, they would like to cut back to the announcer". That's the first sign of something went wrong I think ( for us, the general audience ).
so the audio cuts out at the most important part?
Well done Astra team! You've come a long way and the future is bright :)
Lol
@@stanweatherfield681 everyone gets a trophy
@@ozgott1415 of course! silly me, I forgot that now we applaud failure in America..
@@stanweatherfield681 They have come a long way thanks to failures and learning from them. Be happy and positive for them my guy, Not everyone can be a SpaceX but they case sure as hell help make space more accessible. If rocket companies were easy there would be no shortage of them...
Although I understand the disappointment after failing on a mission, I will appreciate a less rushed ending of the webcast when things go wrong. I we spent time waiting and watching the launch, you should at least spend some time with your supporters. It is easy to celebrate accomplishments, but all of this rocket companies are so timid sharing information about failures. Good luck next time. 👍
That’s about a 9 on the tension scale Rafael toro. Relax.
You are a bystander, they share this, by choice. They are a business, striving to succeed. Their purpose is not to entertain you nor are they bound to provide you with an experience you deem “fitting”. RE timid? That’s not information the public has a right to nor would any SANE person expect them to divulge it. Re what you appreciate? No one cares what you appreciate. That’s not the purpose of the effort nor the live stream.
If tax payers money was used in anyway for this launch, then yes we deserve all video and information
Upper management probably ordered the stream stopped. They just wanted to get the hell out of there.
@@TheJacklwilliams Wow my friend, you are suffering a serious case of either stress or anxiety that needs immediate care. Calm down, relax. I appreciate your thoughtful remarks. 😃
Why cut off sound when things go wrong?
I wonder why the second stage started turning out of control after the engine shutdown
Explosion
Very sad, I’m not sure how many more they can endure 😣. Never like to see a space mission fail.
SpaceX was the same way in the beginning
@@RedKnight. No it wasn't. SpaceX has a 94% success launch rate and most of the failures have been on the booster stage return.
No sane person wants to see expensive failures, but rocketry has always been a risky and expensive undertaking. Modern telemetry will pinpoint the cause, and smart people will make sure the next bird flies right.
@@reefhound9902 94% now but the first couple launches of the falcon 1 didn't succeed
@@bcrox I guess you don't want GPS weather data satellite images or good maps then. Because satellites fall back to earth and we need rockets to take them back up, and when companies are making cheaper and cheaper rockets it allows companies to make better satellite technology. It's allowing global internet constellations to be put up.
Spacex makes it look so damn easy
so does Rocket Lab :)
@@azjatyckieklimaty2172 who? 🤣
@@woolymittens The people sending NASA's Capstone satellite to the moon in preparation for their Lunar Gateway project. They're a US company launching out of New Zealand. Electron is pretty cool, if only a small-sat launcher. Neutron should be pretty interesting, if it goes according to plan.
@@woolymittens seems you're pretty ignorant lol, that's weird cuz RKLB has achieved far more than Astra.
What's the flash from behind the vehicle @6:25 Near the top of the screen? Anyone else see it? Impact with something @6:30? @7:30 suddenly it twisted? Did it impact, or a fuel tank rupture?
GO ASTRA!!! I know you can recover from this, and eventually will succeed.
God speed👍
Failure is the part of success! Let's cheer them up, it's not the end.
Very true I endorse your view, but if it were Russia, China or India all the west would have ridiculed. I think there is no success without fear of failure.
Screw these people. They still want us to think that these silly paper face mask work to stop viruses.
They owned up to it pretty quick.
Couldn’t really hide it. And then say bye quickly.
@@TheBooban Most of the time they say "We lost contact and will update you later."
Wow this has such a heartbreaking atmosphere
Imagine how the rocket must have felt.
I'm a tile man and my favorite saying for when there's a problem with no immediate solution is " Let's figure this out bcuz it ain't Rocket Surgery!"
This is what I was talking about.
At four minutes, everything is fine.
Engine did not light.
At five minutes, everything is fine.
Engine still not on.
Then we hear crickets 🦗 crickets 🦗
The engine was on. You just can't see the plume. The engine seemed to flame out and the vectoring went nuts right as the velocity started dropping.
Was a strange malfunction that sent the craft spinning.
Nice try. Hopefully the next one works they really need to get a successful mission.
The launch may have been a failure but the views were still stunning. Learn from the mistakes this time and better luck next time.
They still managed to get some incredible views just before it went out of control. Earth is so blue
Space is hard! Astra has what it takes, keep going team!
Maybe they can get a participation trophy.
4:46 the most underwhelming control room shot
@soft_cardigan i know. but I just can't help finding that control room cramped
Fucking broom closet.
@soft_cardigan And here I am in a condo in Los Angeles...
@@dalethelander3781 exactly
Was it a computational error or mechanical problem?
Did the second stage run out of fuel?
Should have had space x send it up.
That’s a shame hopefully it isn’t because of the price of fuel….I know I can’t afford to fill my car anymore

Rocket science is hard. Makes us appreciate even more what SpaceX was able to accomplish. Still I would like to see at least one other company succeed.
Spacex was simple, poach NASA talent and acquire private funding...
Not enough credit is given to the engineer behind Falcon 9. If Bezos, Astra, Boeing, or anyone had that engineer, we would be talking about them instead of SpaceX.
@@TheBooban Really? One engineer? 🤣😅
@@Chris-bg8mk yeah. His design. Look it up.
sad to see. it just shows how hard this stuff really is
its not as hard as they are making it look SPACE X is doing great even better than nasa
@@tc539nah rockets are hard u should try
@@cccheezy no thanks i do what im good at. they should really find what they are good at and go do it instead of wasting tax dollars doing what they are not good at
Just a quick ❓ how much does it cost per mission
This is so many understanding that rocketing is not easy as SpaceX make it look. Good Luck on the next one!
Nobody said it is easy but these guys clearly can't handle hard.
Rocketry is hard - well done on a successful first-stage burn and separation. Best of luck with the next launch!
That’s what she said!!
Let's be clear: they ran out of fuel. This is a rocket that is supposed to be able to launch up to 150 kg and they ran out of fuel putting a pair of 5.34 kg satellites into orbit. 10.68 kg is about EIGHT PERCENT of their supposed max payload. This is not the first time Astra has run out of fuel on a launch, either, which is why this rocket had both stages lengthened specifically to add more fuel, yet STILL it wasn't enough. How could they not have known that? Who decided to take this ridiculous (and completely calculable) risk?
If Astra was a baseball team it would be time to fire the manager.
Common core math. They didn't count enough boxes.
Oh wow, that really hurts. I know you'll figure it oot but still... Next time guys. We will be watching and hoping. But it was a beautiful launch.
Where did they land the booster?
