CEO Chris Kemp Sees Opportunity In Interceptor Tests
Astra is targeting the Pentagon’s Golden Dome interceptor tests with its small rockets, according to CEO Chris Kemp. The company’s vehicle is seen as a suitable target due to its single-use and small size, which could drive scale and reduce costs for commercial and government customers. Astra is also working on a test mission to deliver drones globally in under 24 hours, and is gearing up for the inaugural launch of Rocket 4.0 this fall, as reported by Payload Space.
