ESA-supported LIDE mission takes to orbit to demonstrate new technique for global 5G connectivity
28 Jul 2025
A new CubeSat developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA) has made it to orbit as a part of the Direct Access Live Demonstration (LIDE) mission. Aiming to test the feasibility and demonstrate establishing a stable 5G connection from low Earth orbit, LIDE serves as a proof-of-concept to provide connectivity anywhere in the world – especially in underserved areas.
