Spanish startup PLD Space called off the test launch of its first suborbital reusable rocket scheduled for Wednesday morning, citing strong high-altitude winds
PLD Space's test is set to be its first step in the race to put small satellites into space and capture a slice of a potential trillion-dollar market.
The launch from a military aerospace research centre in Huelva, southern Spain, would have been the first in Western Europe by a private company. Europe's efforts to develop capabilities to send small satellites into space are in focus after a failed orbital rocket launch byPLD Space's "Miura 1" rocket, named after a breed of fighting bulls, is as tall as a three-storey building and has a 100-kg cargo capacity. It can also be used to carry out zero-gravity experiments.
The test will gather as much data as possible to build "Miura 5", an orbital rocket which is being developed and would be tested from a space centre in French Guiana.
