Astra and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are still readying for the first launch in a dual-mission “launch challenge”. Astra, the launch contractor, is currently conducting final preparations ahead of the launch of their Rocket 3.0 vehicle, nicknamed “1 of 3”. Both missions will launch from the Pacific Spaceport Complex – Alaska (PSCA) in Kodiak, Alaska. The first of the launch duo was scrubbed on Monday, the final opportunity of the current window payment milestone window.
