PLD Space can conduct simultaneous tests and collect real-time data on all vehicle systems due to this infrastructure.
Over a decade, PLD Space built its own facilities and procedures, laying the foundation for the current testing system that drives validation of Miura 5.
These facilities, designed and managed entirely by PLD Space, represent the largest private testing capacity for launchers in Europe.
The location in Teruel, only three and a half hours by road from PLD Space's headquarters in Elche, allows agile synchronization between manufacturing and engineering teams, reducing the time between component development and validation to just one day.
PLD Space is operating its testing infrastructure at Teruel Airport, covering more than 155,000 square meters with 10 test benches for the Miura 5 rocket.
The infrastructure at Teruel houses 10 test benches (eight operational and two expected to be ready by the end of the year), customized by PLD Space's engineering team for validating main subsystems of the new launcher.
PLD Space can manufacture and test a component in less than 24 hours, providing full operational independence with quality control and unprecedented development timelines in Europe.
PLD Space can design, manufacture, and validate hardware in a single day thanks to its testing infrastructure.
The experience from developing Miura 1 has allowed PLD Space to generate valuable knowledge in subsystem testing and qualification.
This agility enabled PLD Space to develop an orbital launcher in two years, achieving unprecedented speed, efficiency, and reliability in Europe.
Etlaq Spaceport is involved in Oman’s 2023 to 2033 National Space Program and has a commitment for services from PLD Space's MIURA 5 spacecraft.
The CubeSat 3U, named Agasat, has been selected to be part of the Miura 5 Spark program led by the launch company PLD Space.
