Default Astra trying again at PSCA (link)

Hello All,

Astra will, hopefully, reach orbit this time with their small kerolox-powered SLV. Their first launch window, at the PSCA (Pacific Spaceport Complex - Alaska: https://akaerospace.com/spaceports/ ), runs from November 8 to November 14 (see: https://spaceflightnow.com/2021/11/...early-november/ ). They've flown their rocket sideways, and very nearly reached orbit on a previous launch attempt (video shot from that round is on the opening page of their company website: https://astra.com/ ), so hopefully they'll make it all the way this time.
