This brings the company's total funding to 488 million euros since its inception in 2011. The new capital will enable PLD Space to industrialize its Miura 5 launcher, expand production and testing capacity, develop launch infrastructure, and advance towards commercial operations. The financing round is led by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation from Japan and includes participation from Spanish public fund Cofides and the Spain-Oman Private Equity Fund. Other new investors include Endeavor Catalyst, the risk capital arm of Endeavor, and Sopef, a Spain-Oman co-investment vehicle. PLD Space aims to use the funding to develop the Miura 5 for missions requiring greater payload capacity and orbital reach, and to consolidate its commercial launch services.",
