This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2022 (the “Current Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 17, 2022, Astra Space, Inc. (“Astra” or the “Company”) issued a press release, which included certain information regarding the financial results for the Company for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the press release furnished as an exhibit hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 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 the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In conjunction with preparing its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), the Company recently became aware that at the end of 2021 its filer status changed from non-accelerated filer to large accelerated filer. As a result of this change in status, the Annual Report was due to be filed on March 1, 2022 rather than on March 31, 2022, the date towards which the Company has been working to file the Annual Report.

The Company’s filing status is based on its public float as of June 30, 2021, which was also the effective date of the closing of Holicity, Inc.’s (now Astra’s) business combination with Astra Space, Inc. (now Astra Space Operations Inc.). At the time of the closing of this business combination, the Company’s filing status was determined to be a non-accelerated filer, and the Company incorrectly believed that its status as a non-accelerated filer, based on its public float, did not need to be remeasured until June 30, 2022. The Company was required to recalculate its public float as of June 30, 2021, and its public float as of that date makes it a large accelerated filer, rather than a non-accelerated filer as it had previously believed.

As a result of this change in filing status, the Company is also no longer an emerging growth company. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on the date it had been targeting March 31, 2022, to allow it additional time to complete its year-end closing procedures in conjunction with this change.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company is rescheduling its conference call to report its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, which was originally scheduled for March 17, 2022. Accordingly, the conference call has been rescheduled to Thursday, March 31, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET).

A copy of the press release announcing the events described above is included in this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from the expectations the Company describes in its forward-looking statements. Substantial reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond the control of the Company. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to findings and conclusions of the Audit Committee’s review; the Company’s expectations regarding materiality or significance; the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; the potential for a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or other potential weaknesses of which the Company is not currently aware or which have not been detected; the risk that the completion and filing of the Annual Report will take longer than expected; and additional information that may arise during the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; and the risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Astra Reschedules Fourth Quarter and Year End 2021 Financial Results to March 31, 2022

ALAMEDA, California – March 17, 2022 – Astra Space, Inc. (“Astra”) (Nasdaq: ASTR), today announced it has rescheduled the earnings announcement for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, from today after market close to Thursday, March 31, 2022, after market close to coincide with the filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). Astra will host the rescheduled conference call at 1:30pm PT (4:30pm ET) on Thursday, March 31, 2022, to discuss its financial results.

Astra currently expects fourth quarter and year ended 2021 financial results to meet or be more favorable than previously issued guidance. Additionally, cash and cash equivalents are expected to be approximately $325 million as of December 31, 2021.

In conjunction with preparing the Annual Report, Astra recently became aware that at the end of 2021 its filing status changed from non-accelerated filer to large accelerated filer. As a result of this change in status, the Annual Report was due to be filed on March 1, 2022 rather than on March 31, 2022, the date towards which Astra has been working to file the Annual Report.

Astra’s current filing status is based on its public float as of June 30, 2021, which was also the effective date of the closing of Holicity, Inc.’s (now Astra’s) business combination with Astra Space, Inc. (now Astra Space Operations Inc.). At the time of the closing of the business combination, the Company’s filing status was determined to be a non-accelerated filer, and Astra incorrectly believed that its status as a non-accelerated filer, based on its public float, did not need to be remeasured until June 30, 2022. Astra was required to recalculate its public float as of June 30, 2021, and its public float as of that date makes it a large accelerated filer, rather than a non-accelerated filer as it had previously believed.    As a result of this change in filing status, Astra is also no longer an emerging growth company.
