PLD Space is scrubbing the launch of Miura 1 today due to unfavorable weather conditions. The company states the upper level winds, the only watch weather item, are no go for flight. Teams will reset for another opportunity in the following days.
🔴 Standing down for today’s #MIURA1 test flight. We found upper winds higher than the expected and we have decided to abort the launch. Stay tuned for further needs.Thanks and #VamosMIURA!
During the past 5 hours, We have been monitoring West upper winds with values with above 20m/s and gusts of up to 30m/s between km 8 and 12. We have decided to not move countdown forward.Thank you all and specially to @intaespana CEDEA team for their collaboration.#VamosMIURA!
May 31st, 2023 – “Behind the Scenes” of our recent MIURA 1 SN1 Test Flight showing the mission team’s decision making around our last minute launch reschedule due to high-altitude winds.Waiting now for new a new launch window!#VamosMIURACheck it out:
Upper-level winds continue to postpone PLD Space's Miura 1 suborbital launch.
The high-altitude winds forecast for this weekend in the launch area, and with the last radiosonde carried out, violate the forecast limits and do not allow the launch operations of #MIURA1 to proceed. We postpone until a new scheduled window. @PLD_Space #VamosMIURA
