The attempt was aborted almost immediately after engine ignition.
"Unfortunately, the abort that was around our T-0 time was a minor telemetry issue that the team needs to work to resolve," Carolina Grossman, Astra's director of product management, said during a webcast of today's try."So unfortunately we need to stand down from today's launch attempt."

The company reached space on two of those flights, and its LV0007on the most recent mission, a trial for the U.S. military that launched in November.
