Spain’s space ambitions are anchored in PLD Space and built on industrial capacity.
Today, Minister of Industry and Tourism Jordi Hereu visited our HQ alongside Jaime Peris, Special Commissioner for Reindustrialisation.
As Minister Hereu told our team:
“PLD Space gives Spain and Europe greater strategic autonomy: the ability to decide what we launch into space, and when. I admire your work on something so fundamental, something that protects European values. We will reach new frontiers.”
Thank you for your visit!

Europe needs more than great technology. It needs the industrial capacity to scale it and autonomous access to space.
Our Co-founder and CBDO, Raúl Verdú (@ingverdu), shares PLD Space’s perspective in 'Euros in Space', a content series by the European Investment Bank (@EIB) exploring the transformation of Europe’s space sector.
Thank you, Matt Rees (@EIBMatt), for featuring our story and for visiting us in Elche to gain first-hand insight into PLD Space.

Today, we welcomed Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Minister Diana Morant to our HQ in Elche to share the progress of our roadmap towards recurrent, sustainable and competitive access to space.
MIURA 5 is entering the final phase of system-level validation as it advances towards its first demonstration flight from Kourou.
We also unveiled the new specifications of MIURA 5 Block 1.2, now commercially known as MIURA 9, capable of delivering up to 1,500 kg to orbit.
Our roadmap is driven by long-term vision, proprietary technology and a proven ability to execute.
From Spain, for Europe and the world.
