PLD Space MIURA 1 suborbital demonstrator
MIURA 1 is PLD Space's suborbital launch-vehicle demonstrator, first flown from the El Arenosillo Test Centre in Spain in October 2023. It was developed to support microgravity research and technology validation, with a design objective of carrying 100 kg to 150 km altitude. Those figures describe the design capability rather than the altitude achieved on its inaugural flight. Its development provided a foundation for the larger orbital MIURA 5 launcher.
