Amazon is set to launch 24 Project Kuiper internet satellites on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, marking a rare collaboration between competing companies in the race to dominate low Earth orbit. This launch is part of Amazon’s plan to deploy over 3,200 satellites to challenge SpaceX’s Starlink network. The two companies agreed to a three-launch deal in December 2023 after initial conflicts over launch contracts. Amazon aims to meet a 2026 FCC deadline while competing for global internet coverage.
