NEXT SPACEFLIGHT

Miura 5

Miura 5 (previously called Arion 2) is a planned two-stage orbital recoverable launch vehicle of the Spanish company PLD Space. Miura 5 will be 25 m long, capable of inserting 300 kg of payload into a 500 km sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), featuring an optional kick stage that can circularize the orbits of satellites. All stages are planned to be liquid-propelled and its technology is inherited from Miura 1. The first stage is planned to be reusable through the combined use of its engines and parachutes for retrieval.
