The test flight of the Launch Vehicle 0007 will take place in Alaska on November 20, 2021. It was the first time that a rocket reached the space station. The image is from Astra.

The California rocket builder announced on Monday that it will launch a NASA mission from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in January. The flight will take off from the Space Launch Complex.
"This historic launch site has been prepared for a new commercial launch partner in less than a year, which is a tremendous milestone for our combined team and illustrates how SLD 45 sets the pace for access to space," said Stephen Purdy, commander of the U.
The Eastern Range, the organization that oversees launches from the U.S. East Coast, said that Space Florida and Astra have moved at a rapid speed to demonstrate critical and responsive launch capabilities. "We are excited to have her at the Space Force Station."
The first successful flight of the Rocket 3.2 is shown in the video.
The upcoming flight was not given further information by Astra. It could be.
NASA's educational launch of small satellites will be lofted by ELaNa 41. The liftoff for that mission is planned for late 2021, or early 2022, according to the contract.
Small satellites are dedicated to rides to space because of the cost-effective, responsive and ever-evolving rockets built by Astra. The company, which is based in California's Bay Area, reached orbit for the first time last month during a test flight for the U.S. military.
The three other test flights were launched from the Pacific Spaceport Complex on Alaska's Kodiak Island. The company plans to expand its launch operations to multiple sites around the world.
NASA has a contract with Astra to launch TROPICS, a mission that will look at precipitation structure and storm intensity. TROPICS will use six cubesats to study Hurricane formation and evolution in the South Pacific over the course of three missions next year.
