EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Astra has built a mobile launch system designed to send rockets into space within 48 hours, with the rocket and launch equipment transported in standard 40-foot shipping containers. Chris Kemp, CEO of Astra Space, sees sovereign access to space as critical to national security. With launch capacity constrained and traditional spaceports tied to fixed infrastructure, Astra wants to give the United States and its allies the ability to rapidly deploy launch capability around the world. The vision is a distributed network of mobile spaceports that strengthens resilience and deterrence and could be established almost anywhere, even in a Walmart parking lot.
