launch miura 1, The rocket designed and built by PLD Space Elche, It was postponed for the second timedue, as of May 31, to High winds detectedwhich does not guarantee the success of the task.
PLD Space announces on its social networks the postponement of the scheduled launch from Mujer (Huelva): no follow-up to the Miura 1 launches.
So, postponed “until a new scheduled window”, He indicated, without specifying a launch date, though he cited the weather forecast for this weekend.
On May 31, the mission was aborted after the full launch chronology had been executed, which turned out to be quite correct.
We’ll have to wait to see the Miura 1 fly, named after the brave cattle and Spanish brand symboland see how it becomes a file Firstly rocket Private 100% Spanish in going to space And with this value, he started working in 2011 in Elche (Alicante) Engineers Raul Torres and Raul Verdoux With 3,000 euros, which today translates into three offices and more than a hundred employees.
The main objective of this first flight is to verify the operation of the main technologies in flight, Something that has not yet been achieved: the thrust profile of the engine in flight conditions, the aerodynamic behavior of the launcher, the nominal trajectory following, the nominal behavior of all subsystems under real conditions and exposure to real space.
Designed flight Its expected duration is six minutes Where microgravity conditions and apogee are reached at an altitude of 80 km and The PLD Space Team will be responsible for collecting the rocket in the Atlantic Oceanonce ditching is complete.
