Astra purportedly operates as an operational space launch company. On June 30, 2021 Astra Space Inc. and Holicity Inc., a special purpose acquisition company, merged.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Astra cannot launch "anywhere"; (2) Astra significantly overstated its addressable market; (3) Astra overstated the effectiveness of its designs and reliability; (4) Astra significantly overstated its plans for diversification and its broadband constellation plan; and (5) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

On December 29, 2021, during market hours, market researcher Kerrisdale Capital released a report entitled "Astra Space, Inc (ASTR): Headed for Dis-Astra" which alleged myriad issues with the Company.

On this news, Astra's shares fell $1.10 per share, or approximately 14%, to close at $6.61 per share on December 29, 2021, on unusually heavy trading damaging investors.
