Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Marks a national commercial milestone: two Sateliot 5G D2D satellites on a dedicated MIURA 5 in 2027 are billed as Spain’s first fully private orbital mission, and represent PLD Space moving from qualification to revenue flights (MIURA 5 qualification unit).
  • Advances the direct‑to‑device market: adds operational capacity to the growing NTN/D2D ecosystem as standards and commercial rollouts mature (NTN/D2D commercialisation and 3GPP progress).
  • Tightens the competitive landscape in Spain and Europe for D2D services versus global operators conducting trials in the country (Starlink Direct‑to‑Cell trial in Spain).
