Protection will begin at 60 minutes before liftoff.Video: Watch Astras Rocket 3.2 launch on its 1st effective flightAstra, which was founded in 2016, aims to snag a large part of the small-satellite launch market with its line of mass-produced, cost-effective and ever-evolving rockets. Saturdays launch will construct on that recent success, notching several extra turning points if all goes according to plan: ELaNa 41 will be Astras first orbital objective from the Lower 48 states and its very first flight to bring operational satellites.Those spacecraft are 4 small cubesats flying by means of NASAs Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) initiative.An Astra rocket stands poised to introduce the ELaNa 41 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
