The launch of the Miura 1, the rocket designed and constructed by the Elche firm PLD Space, has been postponed for the second time, due, as on May 31, to the high-altitude winds detected, which don’t assure the success of the launch. mission.
PLD Space has introduced on its social networks the postponement of the launch, scheduled from Moguer (Huelva): “The high-altitude winds forecast for this weekend within the launch space, and with the final radiosonde carried out, violate the anticipated limits and don’t permit proceed with Miura 1 launch operations”.
Thus, it’s postponed “till a brand new scheduled window”, he has indicated, with out specifying when the launch was scheduled for, though citing the climate forecasts for this weekend.
On May 31, the mission was aborted after having carried out the entire sequence of the launch chronology, which had turned out to be solely appropriate.
We should wait to see the Miura 1 fly, named after the wild cattle and as an emblem of the Spanish model, and see the way it turns into the primary a hundred percent Spanish non-public rocket to enter house and thereby worth the work in 2011 started in Elche (Alicante) the engineers Raúl Torres and Raúl Verdú with 3,000 euros, which at this time interprets into three places of work and greater than 100 workers.
Knowledge of situations
The predominant goal of this primary flight is to confirm the operation of key applied sciences in flight, one thing that so far has not been potential: the thrust profile of the engine in flight situations, the aerodynamic conduct of the launcher, the monitoring of the nominal trajectory , the nominal conduct of all subsystems underneath actual situations and publicity to actual spatial situations.
The designed flight has an anticipated period of six minutes through which microgravity and apogee situations are reached at an altitude of 80 kilometers and a crew from PLD Space can be accountable for accumulating the rocket within the Atlantic Ocean, as soon as the flight has been accomplished. splashdown.
