  • Drop Test Proves Technologies for Reusable Microlauncher 17 April 2019
    Drop test proves technologies for reusable microlauncher 17 April 2019 This drop test was carried out yesterday from El Arenosillo Experimentation Center in Spain. Watch it here. A Chinook CH-47 helicopter lifted the 15 m long 1.4 m diameter Miura 5 demonstration first stage to an altitude of 5 km then dropped it over a controlled area of the Atlantic Ocean, 6 km off the coast of Huelva in southern Spain. During the descent, electronic systems inside the demonstrator controlled a carefully timed release of three parachutes to slow it down until its splashdown at a speed of about 10 m/s. A team of divers recovered the demonstrator and hoisted it onto a tugboat, which returned to the port of Mazagón. The demonstrator looks to be in good shape and will now be transported to PLD Space, in Elche, for inspection and further analysis. The same parachute system will also be used on their Miura 1 suborbital microlauncher, on track for a first launch this year. Drop test of microlauncher first stage. Credit: PLD Space Spain's PLD Space, supported by ESA, has demonstrated the technologies for a reusable first stage of their orbital microlauncher, Miura 5. Miura 5 (formerly Arion 2) is aimed to provide dedicated launches for small satellites of up to 300 kg to low Earth orbit, in 2021. It weighs 14 t at liftoff, and is powered by liquid oxygen–kerosene engines. 1 / 2 Recovering the first stage demonstrator.

IberEspacio Tecnología Aeroespacial A booming market: pairing opportunities for small satellites and small launchers THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE SECTOR has changed substantially in the last 20 years. The current trend known as New Space emerged at the start of the century with the appearance of Space companies (mainly founded by millionaires) with the support of NASA and Venture Capital funds that enabled new commercial opportunities to open up. Among examples of this trend are SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and Planetlab. What prevailed was a “traditional” development with some different approaches and the entry of private money in contrast to the usual organic growth in the sector.

    [SSC20-WP1-08] PLD Space, "The European commercial launch service provider dedicated to small payloads and small satellites" Pablo Gallego Sanmiguel Senior Vice President, Sales & Customers PLD Space; Calle Nicolás Copérnico 7, 03203 Elche, Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT PLD Space is a European company with the goal of providing easy and frequent access to space. The company aims to provide launch services for suborbital applications such as scientific research or technology development as well as orbital launches for small satellites. For this, PLD Space is developing two dedicated, reusable launch vehicles named MIURA 1 and MIURA 5. MIURA 1 was conceived as a one-staged suborbital sounding rocket which uses a liquid propulsion system designed and built by PLD Space. MIURA 5 – uses five of the same engine propelling MIURA 1 – is a two-staged launch vehicle for small satellites. The maiden flight of MIURA 1 is set to take place from the historical Spanish launch site “El Arenosillo” in the south-west of Spain. From there, the rocket will fly into south-westerly direction and after a flight time of about 12.5 minutes splash down about 40 km off the coast in the Gulf of Cadiz in the Atlantic Ocean. In this first test flight, MIURA 1 will carry several payloads. Half of the total available payload capacity will be used by PLD Space. A variety of sensors will be integrated into the rocket with the intention to quantify the flight environment. The other half of the available payload mass has been made available for the scientific community and will house several scientific experiments.
