PLD Space’s Chief Business Development Office Raúl Verdú adds, “The winning of the Boost! contract, an achievement shared with our partner OCCAM Space, is a further testament to this fact, and another vote of confidence from ESA. We are excited to develop a modular, highly flexible, low-cost solution to meet our customers’ accommodation needs aboard Miura 5.”

“OCCAM Space team has a large expertise in structures and mechanisms in the space sector. We are very happy that our MOSPA philosophy and design has been selected to complement the Miura 5 upper stage. We are looking forward to work hand in hand with ESA and PLD Space to bring more competitiveness to the European small launchers market,” says OCCAM Space’s CEO Manuel Serrano.

Miura 5 is aiming for a first flight in 2025, launching from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
