Sateliot, PLD Space to Launch Two 5G Satellites in First Spanish Mission
PLD Space will launch two 160 kg 5G satellites by 2027, marking the first private mission by Spanish firms to enhance European telecom sovereignty, Sateliot said.
- On Tuesday, Sateliot and PLD Space signed a deal to launch two 5G satellites, the first private mission carried out solely by Spanish companies involving Barcelona-based Sateliot.
- Amid EU efforts to reduce reliance on Elon Musk's SpaceX, Sateliot CEO Jaume Sanpera said selecting a Spanish partner safeguards technological sovereignty and boosts 5G and defence capabilities.
- Under the contract, PLD Space will launch two Sateliot satellites weighing 160 kg each into low Earth orbit using Miura-5, its two-stage partially reusable rocket.
- Industry plans to field thousands of internet-beaming satellites as analysts expect a trillion-dollar market by 2030, and the companies say the partnership strengthens Europe’s satellite telecommunications sector and defence resilience.
- By 2027, PLD Space aims to place two satellites into low Earth orbit, advancing Sateliot's 100-satellite plan by 2028 with estimated revenue of 1 billion euros by 2030.
