OQ Technology and its Greek subsidiary successfully launched the ERMIS-1 and ERMIS-2 CubeSats aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-16 mission, marking a key step in advancing 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) and direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity from low Earth orbit.
Part of Greece’s national ERMIS program supported by ESA and the Hellenic Space Center, the satellites will enable IoT services, emergency messaging, and future two-way communications directly to smartphones, strengthening Europe’s sovereign space and connectivity capabilities.
