696:; first, as one of three teams, although at this point Astra kept its involvement secret and was only referred to as "stealth startup" by the Challenge organizers. Then as the other two teams dropped out, Astra remained as the only team in the competition. The competition involved launching two small satellite payloads into orbit from two different launch sites in the U.S. with approximately two weeks between launches. Astra attempted to perform a launch for the Challenge in late February – early March 2020 from PSCA, but had to scrub the launch attempts (due to faulty sensor data) and in the end, did not launch a rocket for the Challenge. With the competition's only remaining team (Astra) being unable to launch a rocket within the set time frame, DARPA announced the DARPA Launch Challenge closed on 2 March 2020 with no winner. The prize of US$ 12 million went unclaimed.

Rocket 3.3 was larger than previous Rocket 3 variants, and multiple vehicles were produced and launched. Rocket 3.3 serial number LV0007 became Astra's first rocket to reach orbit. The final Rocket 3.3 produced, serial number LV0010, failed to launch the NASA

On 24 November, 2023, the company raised $ 2.7 million from existing investors to continue operations while it works out its long-term plan. In March 2024, Astra's board agreed for the company to be taken private by its co-founders at a $ 11.25 million valuation.

On 4 August 2022, together with the release of the Q2 2022 financial results, Astra announced that following two out of the previous four Rocket 3.3 launches being unsuccessful, they intended to fully transition to the upgraded Rocket 4, whose maiden flight has been subsequently rescheduled to 2023.
