Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 26, 2021, we issued a press release announcing that we will report financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 on Thursday, November 11, 2021 after the market close. A copy of our press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
On October 12, 2021, we announced that a launch window would open on October 27, 2021, for a commercial orbital launch on behalf of the United States Space Force from the Pacific Spaceport Complex in Kodiak, Alaska (the “Spaceport”). While we are ready to begin launch preparations for LV0007, the Spaceport has informed us that they have not yet completed some planned improvements for the range. As a result, we will not be able to complete the preparations for a launch of LV0007 until some time during the second segment of this launch window, beginning November 5, 2021.
Many different factors influence when we can launch, including factors driven by third parties over whom we have no control. We set a launch window to allow us to evaluate these factors and ensure that conditions are optimal for a launch. As a result, we may not attempt a launch on the first day of a launch window if conditions are not optimal for a launch. When a launch attempt is scheduled, we will update our website (www.astra.com) with the date and time.
When we use the phrase “commercial orbital launch”, we mean a launch conducted under an FAA commercial launch license.
