Amazon's Project Kuiper Partners with SpaceX for Satellite Internet Launches

Amazon has signed a contract with SpaceX for three Falcon 9 launches to support the deployment plans of Project Kuiper, Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. The additional launches with SpaceX will supplement existing contracts and provide more capacity to support the deployment schedule. Project Kuiper aims to connect unserved and underserved communities globally, and the satellite manufacturing is expected to begin in the first half of 2024, with early customer pilots starting in the second half of 2024.
