Avec 488 millions d’euros de financement, PLD Space doit maintenant passer de la fusée à l’industrie
西班牙航天公司 PLD Space 的融资进入新阶段：其 C 轮融资规模已提升至 2.88 亿欧元，最新一笔 1.08 亿欧元由 Mitsubishi Electric 领投。加上此前融资，PLD Space 累计已获得 4.88 亿欧元资金。经过 15 年专注于运载火箭技术研发之后，这家公司如今的重点不再只是“把火箭做出来”，而是要把自己真正推向工业化：扩建生产能力、建设测试台，以及完善发射基础设施。
