PLD Space keeps building Miura 1. The first Spanish private rocket
MIURA 1
For 85% of the year, our launch site boasts sunny skies and temperate weather. Thus, launch scrubs and delays due to inclement weather are reduced.
The historic El Arenosillo test range is located near Huelva, in south-west Spain (37°05’59.96” N,06°44’10.63” W). From this base, over 550 sounding rockets have been launched to date. El Arenosillo is owned and managed by INTA (National Space Authority), an institution that belongs to the Spanish Ministry of Defense. It has all the necessary equipment and facilities to support PLD Space commercial launch operations.
