Amazon Wants To Compete With Starlink

In October of last year, Amazon announced its plans to launch two satellite prototypes this year, which will be part of the Project Kuiper constellation, a satellite internet service that promises to be a major rival to other services like Starlink’s technology.

Jeff Bezos’ company made a deal with United Launch Alliance (ULA) for the launch to take place during the debut of the new Vulcan rocket, which will also carry the lunar lander Peregrine, from Astrobotic, into space.

In this inaugural launch of Amazon’s technology, only two test satellites, called Kuipersat-1 and Kuipersat-2, will be launched, which will rival Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites. Like the launch of the Kuiper project, Amazon’s technology, the inaugural flight of the Vulcan rocket is a few years behind schedule. ULA already has a contract with Amazon for 47 launches of the Project Kuiper, 38 of which will be with the Vulcan rocket.

In May 2019, SpaceX began one of the most ambitious projects ever developed by the company: a Falcon 9 rocket was launched into space carrying the first 60 satellites of the Starlink mega constellation, designed to provide low-latency, high-speed internet to users worldwide. Currently, the constellation has 1,700 units in orbit, with SpaceX aiming to increase that number to at least 30,000 units and is already working on the second generation of satellites.

Although the first official launch of the project took place over four years ago, the mega constellation had been in the company’s plans long before. In 2015, Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, announced that the company had filed documents with international regulators to launch about 4,000 satellites into low Earth orbit.
