Astra has determined the causes of two failure points that led to the loss to the LV0008 Rocket 3 mission, also known as ELaNA 41, on February 10, 2022.
During the launch, a failure occurred around the time of stage separation, with Astra announcing not one but two separate failures – one affecting payload fairing separation and another affecting the upper stage’s thrust vector control (TVC) – ultimately caused the loss of the mission.
