Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 14, 2022, we conducted a launch attempt for Spaceflight, Inc. under our multi-launch contract on our launch vehicle LV0009. We terminated that launch attempt due to weather conditions and rescheduled the launch for March 15, 2022 at 9:22 a.m. pacific time. On March 15, 2022, we conducted an orbital launch of LV0009 and confirmed our first delivery of customer payloads into Earth orbit.

Both our launch attempt and the launch and deployment of the payload were livestreamed through NASA Spaceflight. The video of these livestreams is available on our Twitter account (@astra), our LinkedIN account (linkedin/company/astraspace) and our website at www.astraspace.com. We have also furnished the transcript of the video from the launch attempt on March 14, 2022, as Exhibit 99.1. This exhibit shall not be deemed filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. Once available, we will furnish the transcript of the livestream of our commercial orbital launch from March 15, 2022.

When we use the phrase “commercial orbital launch,” we mean a launch conducted under an FAA commercial launch license.

On March 15, 2022, we issued a press release announcing Chris Kemp, Founder, Chairman and CEO, will participate in a fireside chat at BofA securities' STAARS Summit Conference on Sunday March 20, 2022. A copy of our press release is included in this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.
