Spanish company PLD Space made an important step forward—for itself and for Europe—by finally launching its Miura 1 rocket.
Private Spanish firm PLD Space launched its Miura 1 rocket this past Friday on a suborbital flight that lasted for five minutes, marking a significant milestone for Europe’s nascent spaceflight industry. PLD Space launched its reusable Miura 1 rocket on Friday, October 6 at 8:19 p.m. ET .
In its press release, PLD Space claims that Miura 1 is the first rocket launched by a private European company, which, as Ars Technica points out, is not exactly true; British company Skyrora and Dutch company T-Minus Engineering already beat them to the punch. Still, the launch of Miura is a big deal, but PLD Space will face stiff competition, including from Isar Aerospace from Germany and the aforementioned Skyrora, among several others.
