PLD Space MIURA 5 orbital launch vehicle

MIURA 5 is PLD Space's orbital launcher for small satellites, developed following the MIURA 1 technology demonstrator flown in 2023. ESA describes its initial capability as up to 540 kg to Sun-synchronous orbit, with two propulsion stages and a 2 m diameter. Launch operations are planned from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. Higher-capacity upgrades are planned separately from that initial configuration.
