Spain's PLD Space to Launch First Private Rocket into Space.
PLD Space is set to launch Spain's first privately developed rocket, the Miura 1, from its launch pad in El Arenosillo, Huelva. The reusable suborbital rocket will carry a microgravity research experiment and additional secret payloads. The company plans to launch Miura 1 twice before moving onto the larger Miura 5 rocket, which is set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. PLD Space aims to increase access to space in Europe and start commercial launches in late 2025.
