Chinese standard: any orbital rocket with payload capacity of less than 20t to LEO is just a toy.

uh chinese desdain,
In this context,
Spain is notable for the company
PLD Space, based in Elche, which recently achieved the launch of its rocket named
Miura 1. The purpose of this rocket was to test technologies developed years ago with the goal of conducting commercial flights to orbit satellites of different sizes.
Following this achievement, the company continues to work on the development of
Miura 5, a heavier prototype designed specifically for launching small satellites. The launch of Miura 5 is expected to take place in 2025 from French Guiana.
Similarly, at the national level, the Barcelona-based startup
Pangea Aerospace, specializing in the development of propulsion systems for rockets and satellites, achieved a significant milestone in October 2021 by successfully igniting an aerospike engine with biomethane and liquid oxygen. This achievement opens up new possibilities for efficient and sustainable space flights, as
it allows for rocket reusability and uses fuels that reduce CO2 emissions compared to conventional fuels.
Pangea Aerospace sold its propulsion system, known as the “Arcos” engine, to the American company Tehiru for 50 million euros. Furthermore, the company plans to increase its turnover by 2030, with sales exceeding 300 million euros.
