About the name
Astra is Greek and Latin — "of the stars" — the root of astronaut and per aspera ad astra, "through hardships to the stars," the motto the name quietly carries.
Essentially uncharted in America, Astra offers Stella's meaning with a colder, clearer shine — star as destination rather than decoration.
Two syllables of launch vector (ASS-trah). It pairs well with warm middles (Astra June, Astra Rose) that bring it back to earth. On our vibe map it is Celestial in Modern Minimalist packaging with a Mythological booster stage.
