The Hispasat 1D, since 2016 called Hispasat 30W-4 is a Spanish communications satellite launched in 2002 operated by Hispasat. Together with the Hispasat 1C it formed a constellation in order to strengthen communication ties between the American continent (particularly South America) and the Iberian Peninsula for both governmental and private uses.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

The end of the service life of the constellation was scheduled for 2017 (after more than 15 years in active)[9] however as of 2022 the Hispasat 1D is still active.[10][11][12]
