  The next generation of terrestrial radio communications, so-called fifth
generation (5G) New Radio (NR), beyond the traditional bands below 6 GHz, has
been also specified to operate over millimeter waves (mmWaves), in the
so-called Frequency Range 2 (FR2). Such frequency bands have been since decades
the natural habitat for fixed satellite services (FSS). In this new landscape,
this paper preliminary investigates the feasibility of non-geostationary orbit
(NGSO) satellites directly accessing NR-enabled User Equipment (UE) in mmWaves,
from a regulatory, UE characteristics, space segment, link budget and system
point of view. It also identifies future R and D needs in this area.
