Miura 5 is a two-stage European orbital recoverable launch vehicle currently under development by the Spanish company PLD Space. In a standard two-stage configuration, it will have a length of 34 m, be capable of inserting 1000 kg of payload into a low Earth orbit (LEO), featuring an optional kick stage that can circularize the orbits of satellites.[4]
Development of the Miura 5 has been sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA) via the agency's Future Launchers Preparatory Programme (FLPP); additional support has come from the French space agency CNES and the Spanish agency National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA). Work commenced during the mid-2010s under the name Arion 2, the present name was adopted following a redesign that doubled the lift capacity of the launcher during 2018. On 11 April 2019, PLD Space carried out a successful drop and recovery test of the first stage of a Miura 5 demonstrator. As of December 2023, the first test flight of Miura 5 is expected to take place sometime in early 2026.[2]
