Amazon’s Project Kuiper aims to put more than 3,000 satellites in orbit to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink service.
Amazon is aiming to join the race to build massive constellations of satellites that can blanket the globe in internet connectivity — a move that will officially put the tech company in direct competition with SpaceX and its Starlink system. The first two prototype satellites for Amazon’s network, called Project Kuiper, are set to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, during a two-hour window that opens at 2 p.m. ET Friday.
The company notably faced significant blowback in late 2022 and early 2023 for preventing Ukrainian troops on the front lines of the war with Russia from accessing Starlink services, which had been crucial to Ukraine’s military operations. It’s possible Amazon’s Project Kuiper constellation could become part of that conversation if the network proves successful. “I’m also curious if Amazon plans dual-use capabilities where government/defense will be a major client.
