How are the parts balanced?
Parts are balanced against stock KSP parts, which means the launch vehicles might seem overpowered. The parts are best suited for a 2.5x~ system rescale or JNSQ.

Very cool! 
Does it come with imbalanced fuel loads on the second stage?

Looks awesome! Can’t wait to take some pretty screenshots!

That's the ticket!

[BSS_Snag]

YEEESSSSS! Been waiting for an Astra rocket mod for a while now.

[AmateurAstronaut1969]

Wow this looks Amazing!

Great work, looking forward to using these!

[CollectingSP]

AWESOME! Been waiting for an astra mod for a while. I’m in 1.10 but i’m still installing!
 

I’m primarily a ULA fan, but I loved Astra’s attempt in the DARPA challenge. Love the company, and it’s good to see another small-sat launch provider.

I tried this out in JNSQ yesterday. It's textured beautifully, it assembles perfectly, and works as advertised. I just tried it in a sandbox game, so no comments on price/tree placement. Anyway, this is a great addition, thank you!

One question: the upper stage has an engine module in the staging list, but I couldn't figure out what it's for. Nothing was different with it activated or not activated, so idk if I have something installed incorrectly or its purpose just went over my head...

Same thing happened to me about the upper stage.

would it be possible that we could get ''ahistorical'' parts like nosecones for astra boosters and a lengthened 2nd stage?

Nosecones are a possibility and would probably be the nosecones from Rocket 1.0 or 2.0. I'm certainly not making all new tanks and engine parts for Rockets 1.0 and 2.0, but I may make the nosecones. However, I am considering including parts for Rockets 4.0 and 5.0 when imagery and information comes out next year.
