With SpaceX #Falcon9 and Blue Origin #NewGlenn reusable launchers, Europe is totally out of the game and European mid and heavy launchers are extremely commercially compromised. #MIURANext will solve this huge distance in performance, price, cadence and reusability.
Unveiling the first MIURA 5 launch vehicle qualification unit!
This is the first qualification model (QM1) of our MIURA 5 orbital launch vehicle, designed to complete the validation of fully assembled subsystems ahead of flight:
✅ Second stage → After structural testing, this stage will be subject to a Destructive test to validate system´s Flight Termination System.
✅ First stage → Wet Dress Rehearsal at our own facilities of stage 1, validating the full stage feed system behaviour.
✅ Full qualification of engines, avionics, interstage and fairing.
As part of our test-like-you-fly mindset, we’ll build three units in under five months to ensure maximum reliability for MIURA 5’s maiden mission in 2026, a clear demonstration that we move fast while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Congratulations to the SpaceX team on completing 500 (!!!!) missions with flight-proven rocket boosters. You’ve made the impossible possible with reusable rockets, paving the way to land huge amounts of cargo and lots of people to establish permanent human presence on the Moon and beyond with Starship!
Good overview of the landing. We nominally target a few hundred feet away from Jacklyn to avoid a severe impact if engines fail to start or start slowly. We’ll incrementally reduce that conservatism over time. We are all excited and grateful for yesterday. Amazing performance by the team! Gradatim Ferociter.
View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point
