PLD Space has announced the closure of further financing through a tie-up with independent financial advisory and alternative asset management group Arcano Partners — this 7 million euros venture will fund the buildout of the PLD Space aerospace project in a deal forming part of its Series B investment round.

PLD Space, based out of Elche (Spain) and founded in 2011, is currently developing the MIURA 5 orbital launcher to provide a commercial launch service to the small satellite industry. As a technological and operational demonstrator, PLD Space is set to fire the suborbital rocket MIURA 1 to power the in-flight validation of the technologies needed to move forward with MIURA 5. It will also be able to carry payloads of up to 100 kg and expose them to zero-g conditions to be later brought back to Earth, stepping up scientific research and technological development services.

PLD Space has attracted more than 18 million in private investment and institutional support to date, in addition to the deal involving Arcano Partners.

Executive Comments

PLD Space fundraising lead and Co-Founder, Raúl Verdú, said, “We are excited to announce the onboarding of a leading firm such as Arcano to PLD Space in a move that will allow us to deliver on our financing goals. We are confident this will be the first of many ventures together with Arcano.”

Arcano Asset & Capital Finance Managing Partner, Jon Garaiyurrebaso Eguía, said, “We are pleased to be able to help make aerospace projects of this scale possible in our country. PLD Space shows great potential for growth and value generation in a sector set to undergo unprecedented change in the next decade.”
