Amazon partners with three firms to launch its satellite internet constellation
The HinduAmazon has announced agreements with three companies – Arianespace, Blue Origin, and United Launch Alliance, to deploy the majority of its Project Kuiper satellites that aim to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband to a wide range of customers across the globe. The announcement brings Amazon’s satellite internet constellation one step closer to reality, as its rival Elon Musk-owned SpaceX continues to launch more Starlink satellites, having launched about 2300 satellites already, and expanding Starlink’s presence with about 2.5 lakh subscribers globally. Besides, Project Kuiper plans to launch two prototype missions later this year on ABL Space Systems’ RS1 rocket. Amazon’s Project Kuiper was approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in July 2020, with a constellation of 3,236 satellites in the low Earth orbit.
