The Miura Next is a future reusable heavy-lift rocket currently in development, part of PLD Space's program for the next 20 years. Designed to compete in the market of reusable launchers, it will allow for the transport of large payloads to low Earth orbits and beyond. With capabilities for crewed missions and reusable first stages, it aims to position itself as a European alternative to rockets like the Falcon 9. It is expected to work alongside the crewed capsule Lince, expanding the capabilities for space exploration and commercial ventures.[2]
