A second batch of satellites has been sent into low Earth orbit for Amazon’s Project Kuiper broadband network, marking another significant step toward competing with SpaceX’s global Starlink network.

Amazon successfully launched 27 Kuiper satellites into low Earth orbit using an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Amazon launched its second batch of Kuiper internet satellites using the Atlas V rocket by United Launch Alliance (ULA). The rocket lifted from Space Launch Complex 41 at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The cloud service parent company is ramping up plans for a massive constellation that competes with Elon Musk’s Starlink.
