@DJSnM But only once. If it fails on the second go, check the MIL. If required, ground that plane! If I’m flying in VMC, I’ll take visual navigation without a working panel over risking an electrical fire…

Astra CEO Chris @Kemp, announcing the success of today's LV0009 mission after an anxious wait for confirmation the satellites deployed:

We can confirm the successful deployment of the satellites on Spaceflight's Astra-1 mission today. We are grateful to our partner @spaceflightinc and incredibly proud of this mission success. #AdAstra

[Astra @Astra]

Delivering directly into specific orbits is one of the reasons that a dedicated launch service is valuable for satellite developers, allowing operations in the optimal orbit, and/or supplementing or replacing bulk deployment of constellations.
