View of the launch of the Spanish MIURA 1 rocket at Medano del Loro, in Mazagon, Spain, taken on October 7, 2023. AFPPIX: A Spanish company launched the country's first private rocket on Saturday in a step towards bringing Spain into the exclusive club of space-faring nations.
The company hailed the launch as “successful” and said it had achieved all its “technical objectives”, with the rocket rising 46 kilometres above the Gulf of Cadiz. The launch was hailed as a “milestone” by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in a posting on social media. The launch of the 12-metre rocket was first suspended in May because of strong wind, and then a second time in June because some of its umbilical cables -- which provide power and fuel to the rocket -- did not release in time.
