Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 12, 2022, we held our inaugural Astra SpaceTech Day at our headquarters. This event was livestreamed through our website, and we are furnishing the transcript of the livestream as Exhibit 99.1. This transcript should be read in conjunction with a viewing of the video of the livestream, which is available on our Twitter account (@astra), our LinkedIn account (linkedin/company/astraspace) and our website at www.astra.com.

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.

We also wanted to clarify a statement that our chairman, chief executive officer and co-founder Chris Kemp made at approximately 18 minutes and 38 seconds into the livestream. Mr. Kemp’s statement, in relevant part, was “put into Earth orbit, satellites four years faster than any other company in history.” Mr. Kemp meant the following: “put into Earth orbit, satellites four years faster than any other privately funded U.S. company in history.” (Clarification added in italics).

In addition, on our earnings call on May 5, 2022, we reported that we had entered into contracts with customers for the sale of 61 units of our Astra Spacecraft Engine. On our livestream, we reported that we had entered into contracts with customers for the sale of an additional 21 units of our Astra Spacecraft Engine, making the total of 82 units of our Astra Spacecraft Engine under contract as of May 12, 2022.
