"Miura 1" - first up - is a suborbital rocket that is limited
to about 100kg. It should be of interest to researchers who
may only need to briefly breech the atmosphere for experiments.
However the company is well on the way to "Miuria-5" which can
carry 500kg into orbit and is expected to launch next year.
It's aim is mostly 'micro-sats'.
The reusable aspect is, as Space-X proved, a significant
money-saver.
No, these do not compete with Falcon-9s or Musks BFR.
They are intended to fill certain neglected niches -
ones that do not require lifting massive cargo but
which must instead be "affordable".
