A HIGHLY-FLEXIBLE, FIRST-CLASS LAUNCH SERVICE
MIURA 5 launch vehicle is the two-stage orbital launcher of the MIURA family designed, built and operated by PLD Space. Dedicated to small payloads, it can provide dedicated missions and rideshare options while minimizing the usual complexities and schedule risks linked to launches using medium or heavy-lift launch vehicles.
PLD Space offers hands-on support throughout the customer journey, from contract signature to launch.
MIURA 5 is scheduled to offer a highly-flexible service launching 30 missions per year from multiple space ports, including the historic Guiana Space Centre.
A WIDE RANGE OF LAUNCH CONFIGURATIONS
MIURA 5 provides direct-injection and multi-burn launch services to all commercially relevant orbits including LEO, equatorial, mid-inclinations, polar and SSO.
MIURA 5 is capable of carrying out dedicated launches, as well as rideshare and piggyback missions.
PIONEERING A RENEWABLE, CARBON-FRIENDLY FUEL
MIURA 5 contributes to ultra-green and clean technology practices with measures such as the recovery of the first stage, which splashes down in the ocean and is recovered to be reused for subsequent flights.
In addition, PLD Space uses bio-kerosene (bio RP-1) and liquid oxygen (LOX) in its in-house designed TEPREL-C engines, which contributes to reducing the carbon footprint.

DESIGNED FOR FAST REUSABILITY
First stage reusable design allows for rapid recovery, refurbishment and multiple subsequent launches. This allows for cost reductions in manufacturing and logistics, which translates to higher launch cadences and reduced launch prices.
