I remember an article about an ASTRA recce aircraft in Air Forces Monthly magazine some years ago.

Interestingly, when Wolfbane posted his info on the "A-11 Astra", he explicitly mentioned, that Astra is a name and not an acronym. So I think he knows about the ASTRA acronym and wanted to emphasize that "his" Astra is a different one.

Anyway, it seems obvious that (at least!) one of the two Astras is non-existing (two aircraft with the same name would be _very_ impractical ;-)).
