Astra Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTR) shares are trading lower after the company failed to deliver NASA payloads to orbit.
Viewers of video streaming live from the rocket saw what appeared to be the start of some tumbling before the feed was abruptly cut off. NASA's California-based commercial rocket-making partner Astra confirmed that the upper stage had shut down early, dooming the payload to a considerably earlier than planned rendezvous with Earth.
