Spanish launch provider PLD Space has signed an agreement with Oman’s Etlaq Spaceport, securing it as the company’s second launch site for the Miura 5 rocket.

Miura 5 is a 35.7-metre, two-stage rocket that will, once operational, be capable of delivering up to 1,080 kilograms to low Earth orbit. The rocket will initially be launched from a new commercial launch facility being built on the grounds of the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. The inaugural flight of Miura 5 is currently expected to take place in the first quarter of 2026.

On 20 February, during the first annual Etlaq Launch Conference in Muscat, Oman, PLD Space signed an agreement to secure a launch pad at the Etlaq Spaceport, which it will use to “meet the needs of its customers in the Eastern market.”

Isar Aerospace has announced the completion of the final tests on its Spectrum rocket, paving the way for its inaugural flight. The company stated that the launch will take place “as soon as possible” following approval and licensing from the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority.

Spectrum is a two-stage rocket that is designed to be capable of carrying up to 1,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit. The rocket will initially be launched from the Andøya Spaceport in Norway, which was officially inaugurated in November 2024.

In a 21 February update, Isar revealed that it had completed a 30-second integrated static fire test of the rocket’s first stage on 14 February, qualifying the stage for Spectrum’s inaugural flight. The company also confirmed that the rocket’s second stage had been qualified for flight following a static fire test in the third quarter of 2023.

“We are almost ready for the test flight,” said Isar CEO Daniel Metzler. “All we need is the license.”

The launch window for Spectrum’s first test flight will be set as part of the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority’s licensing process, marking the final regulatory step before liftoff.
