First reusable rocket launched in Europe
The launch, successfully conducted by a private company for the first time in Europe, has raised hopes for the continent's stalled space goals.
Space exploration is a goal for many countries. Especially following the US, many private companies are looking to operate in different countries and join this race. One of these is PLD Space in Spain. However, there is a difference in the Miura-1 rocket that the company chose to use; it is reusable.
This reusable rocket was launched on Saturday from a region located in southwestern Spain.
The launch was conducted for testing purposes, and no footage was released. The rocket is the height of a three-story building and has the potential to carry 100 kilograms of cargo. The launch tests, which had been canceled twice before, were successfully carried out this time.
The name Miura for this reusable rocket from PLD Space comes from the type of bull used in Spain's traditional bullfights.
While the mission for Miura-1 was the first of the planned suborbital missions, many more rockets are planned to be launched by 2025.
