Astra ships 110 satellite engines and hits 2025 financial targets

Astra achieved a major production milestone by shipping 110 satellite engine systems in 2025 while forecasting $45M revenue (700% growth YoY), breakeven EBITDA, and 100% on-orbit reliability. Parallel Rocket 4 progress included two dozen+ first-stage engine test campaigns, design maturity of ~75% first stage and 90%+ upper stage, and initial mobile spaceport design. The propulsion business is funding and de-risking the return-to-flight effort.

Why it matters

Strong propulsion scaling and financial discipline post-privatization provide a credible base for Rocket 4, though the shift from 2026 test to 2027 debut later in the year shows remaining development risk.
