PLD Space It is an atypical, young and daring company. It was created by engineers Raúl Torres and Raúl Verdú when they were 23 and 22 years old, respectively, a little over a decade ago and with 3,000 euros contributed by them and their families. They work from peripheral Spain to the big capitals: headquarters in Elche, testing center in Teruel and port space in Huelva. Today it has 120 employees (with an average age of 35 years) and 60 million in financing, making it the first private European company to produce reusable rockets to place satellites in space. The founders of PDL Space presented this Saturday to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the Minister of Science, Diana Morant, at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (on the Huelva coast), the Miura 1, the suborbital launcher whose takeoff from continental European territory is scheduled for within a month and which aims to make Spain the tenth country with access to space.
