Explanatory Note

Astra Space, Inc. (“Astra”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Astra’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 1, 2022, to disclose an additional date for Astra’s launch for National Aeronautics Space Administration (“NASA”) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and to correct a tweet issued by Astra’s chief executive officer (@Kemp) on Twitter today. The tweet inadvertently announced an incorrect date for the launch. The tweet has since been corrected. No other changes have been made to the original Current Report on Form 8-K dated on February 1, 2022, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2022.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In addition to February 5, 2022, Astra has also secured a back-up date of February 6, 2022, for its launch for NASA from Cape Canaveral, Florida. If Astra conducts this launch on February 6, 2022, it will be livestreamed beginning at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time. You can access the link to the livestream at Astra’s website, www.astra.com.

The tweet from @Kemp on Twitter announcing February 7, 2022 as an additional launch date for Astra’s launch for NASA was incorrect.

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements made in this Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “plan”, “outlook”, and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements reflect the current analysis of existing information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including Astra’s failure to meet the projected launch targets and failure to timely receive the Part 450 launch license. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Due to known and unknown risks, actual results may differ materially from Astra’s expectations or projections including the following factors, among others: (i) delays in projected development and launch targets, including as a result of the decisions of governmental authorities or other third parties not within our control, weather and other suboptimal conditions that may make it difficult to perform a launch attempt; (ii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (iii) the ability of Astra to meet its financial and strategic goals, due to, among other things, competition; (iv) the ability of Astra to pursue a growth strategy and manage growth profitability; (v) the possibility that Astra may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (vi) the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Astra, (vii) the ability to manage its cash outflows during its pre-revenue business operations and (vii) other risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in other reports and other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Astra.
