Space Camp Valencia is back! 🚀 For the third year running, we are continuing to build as Lead Contributor to the global growth of Space Camp Valencia, the most complete summer bootcamp in early space exploration for younger generations aged from 10 to 17. What’s new this year? > Participants will benefit from a complete experience that combines fun, learning, technical knowledge and cultural immersion in the local life of the city of Valencia.   > 12 challenges trained by experts in education and space, designed to simulate the rigorous training of future astronauts, from launching rockets to working in zero gravity, simulating launch missions or piloting aircrafts, among others.   > A group of over 100 explorers from all over the world who will learn collaboratively through hands-on methodologies.   > The awarded trainees of our last two AdAstra Early Talent internship programmes will actively take part as ambassadors during several workshops, providing inspiration, mentoring and impactful knowledge sharing. Registrations are now open! Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/d2gyqZgW

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗜𝗨𝗥𝗔 𝟱’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲! These are the Flight 1 Liquid Oxygen (LOX) tanks for our orbital launch vehicle -first and second stages- now taking shape as part of the integrated flight structures. Seen here in their final flight-ready configuration, this flight hardware marks a key milestone ahead of MIURA 5’s first test flight, planned for 2026 from Kourou. MIURA 5 is moving from development to the launch pad really fast 🚀

The 2026 edition of The Economist Space Summit builds on Europe’s pursuit of sovereign launch capability, data autonomy and industrial resilience. This Wednesday! ...Join Ezequiel Sánchez’s Talk about his vision on how Europe can engineer a competitive, commercially viable ecosystem for sustainable competitiviness and strategic autonomy. We'll be expecting you!

Next week we’ll be at 4S Symposium -Small Satellites Systems and Services. Join our colleague Oier del Rey Rodríguez for a tech and business discussion around European space transportation technologies, current challenges and future trends. If you also would like to schedule a one-to-one meeting for strategic partnerships and current launch opportunities with MIURA 5, book your slot with Oier del Rey Rodríguez between May 4th and 8th on the link below: https://bit.ly/4ud2kVQ Looking forward to this!

Yesterday, we welcomed to our headquarters a group of 14 university rocketry teams that make up SURTAM, Spain's national student rocketry association. Representing renowned aerospace universities from Madrid, León, Bilbao, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, and Zaragoza, all teams joined us for a day of learning and inspiration. Our Co-founder & CBDO, Raúl Verdú, shared his journey from student rocketry to building a space company, while our Program Management team offered a deep dive and Q&A session around PLD Space's engineering philosophy, testing culture, and vertically integrated approach. Supporting younger generations with ambition for spaceflight engineering is part of our DNA - it means listening to them, opening ourselves up, and offering meaningful opportunities for the present and future!✨ Asociación Aeroespacial Cosmos | Grupo de Cohetería de la Universidad de León | BiSKY Team | MultitecUA | UPC Space Program | UVigo Aerotech | Cosmic Research | Space Division UEM | Faraday Rocketry UPV | Coheteros US | ALUnizar - Ad Lunam Unizar | STAR UC3M | ICAI Rocket Team | LEEM

We hosted the hackathon of the third edition of our 𝗔𝗱𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 yesterday, bringing together 100 university students selected from more than 1,000 applications.

Esta semana hemos recibido en nuestra sede central a un grupo de alumnos de la Academia General del Aire y del Espacio (AGA), junto al Centro Universitario de la Defensa (CUD) de San Javier y representantes del Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial «Esteban Terradas». Durante la jornada, los alumnos y profesores del Ejército del Aire y del Espacio pudieron conocer de primera mano nuestro trabajo a través de una charla técnica y una visita a las áreas de fabricación y laboratorios, además de compartir un café y reflexiones con nuestro equipo y fundadores. El nivel de implicación y las preguntas de los alumnos confirman una realidad: el futuro del sector espacial en España ya se está formando hoy. En PLD Space creemos que compartir conocimiento es parte de nuestra responsabilidad como compañía estratégica del ecosistema aeroespacial español. Gracias por el interés demostrado y por mirar al futuro del espacio con nosotros 🚀
