PLD Space

We are on a mission to lower barriers by making space more accessible and sustainable, supporting missions that will help Earth benefit from Space.

La segunda etapa de #MIURA5 se encuentra en las instalaciones de @intaespana en Madrid. Estará allí el mes de noviembre en una campaña de compatibilidad electromagn��tica de la avionica del lanzador, 100% desarrollada en interno por @PLD_Space .

[PLD Space @PLD_Space]

MIURA 5 is undergoing electromagnetic compatibility testing to validate its electronic systems and ensure reliable performance in flight.

Great to team up with INTA (@intaespana) once again 😎

[INTA @intaespana]

Al INTA ha llegado un visitante muy especial: el lanzador #MIURA5 de @PLD_Space

En las instalaciones del Área de Compatibilidad Electromagnética va a realizar su campaña de ensayos que se desarrollará durante las cuatro semanas del mes de noviembre.

En estos ensayos se evaluará el comportamiento de los sistemas electrónicos embarcados frente a diversos fenómenos electromagnéticos y comprobar su compatibilidad electromagnética (EMC) con su entorno de operación. Este tipo de evaluación es fundamental para identificar posibles problemas de interferencias electromagnéticas y contribuir a la fiabilidad del sistema durante toda la misión.

Desde el INTA damos la bienvenida al equipo de @PLD_Space y agradecemos su confianza en nuestras capacidades e instalaciones.

We've successfully completed performance testing of MIURA 5’s Flight Termination System (FTS). Using pyrotechnic devices, the test demonstrated the system’s ability to destroy the stage’s primary structure in the event of an in-flight anomaly.

This validation provides the evidence required to move forward with a major regulatory approval and brings MIURA 5 another step closer to operational readiness.

[PLD Space @PLD_Space]

Europe’s strategic industries can be built beyond its traditional technology hubs.

From Elche, Spain, we’re showing how talent, long-term ambition and execution can create a new hub for space transportation and strengthen Europe’s sovereignty.

Thank you, @AlexIrwinHunt, for featuring our journey in @fDiIntelligence at @FT.

Our last #MIURA5 Program Update is live now! 👇

[Raúl Torres🇪🇸 @RaulTorresPLD]

Pues como ayer decía … aquí tenéis el #MIURA5 Progress Update! @PLD_Space

[PLD Space @PLD_Space]

𝗠𝗜𝗨𝗥𝗔 𝟱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱-𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

October is a milestone-packed month for our MIURA 5 program, as we continue turning our launch system into a reality.

Here’s what’s taking shape across the program:

▪️Launcher qualification: MIURA 5 is undergoing system-level qualification, with three units manufactured.
▪️Industrial scale-up: Advancing our production capabilities to accelerate production and prepare for the next phase.
▪️Launch infrastructure: Progressing ground systems, civil works, and launch operations to build the foundations for liftoff.

The road to launch is taking shape. Every milestone advances MIURA 5 towards operational readiness.

Together with @CNES, we're strengthening Europe’s future launch capabilities from the Guiana Space Centre (@EuropeSpacePort)🌴🚀

A new agreement advances the infrastructure and capabilities needed to scale launch operations across our MIURA vehicle family, including the assessment of a second launch pad for future MIURA 5 and MIURA 9 missions.

🇪🇺 Expanding Europe’s access to space, from Europe.

Spain’s space ambitions are anchored in PLD Space and built on industrial capacity.

Today, Minister of Industry and Tourism Jordi Hereu visited our HQ alongside Jaime Peris, Special Commissioner for Reindustrialisation.

As Minister Hereu told our team:

“PLD Space gives Spain and Europe greater strategic autonomy: the ability to decide what we launch into space, and when. I admire your work on something so fundamental, something that protects European values. We will reach new frontiers.”

Thank you for your visit!

[PLD Space @PLD_Space]

Europe needs more than great technology. It needs the industrial capacity to scale it and autonomous access to space.

Our Co-founder and CBDO, Raúl Verdú (@ingverdu), shares PLD Space’s perspective in 'Euros in Space', a content series by the European Investment Bank (@EIB) exploring the transformation of Europe’s space sector.

Thank you, Matt Rees (@EIBMatt), for featuring our story and for visiting us in Elche to gain first-hand insight into PLD Space.
