Amazon’s satellite internet project is finally preparing for liftoff as it challenges SpaceX’s dominance in orbit.

Project Kuiper will be a constellation of internet satellites intended to provide high-speed data connections. Amazon’s goal is to operate more than 3,200 in the years to come.

Amazon officially kicked off its bold internet-from-space mission with the launch of 27 Project Kuiper satellites on April 9, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in the tech giant’s bid to rival SpaceX’s Starlink and deliver global broadband coverage.
