Miura 1 was not only suborbital, it even failed to pass the Karman line (by a wide margin) to reach space in any capacity at all in the previous launch attempt. It only made it 46 km, the design capacity is for up to 150 km, and space is generally considered 100 km.

This (new) rocket may get to claim to be the first commercial European rocket to reach space at all on top of the same for an orbital rocket in one go.
