ULA Atlas V Launches 29 Amazon Kuiper Satellites in Return Mission
An Atlas V rocket has successfully launched 29 satellites for Project Kuiper, marking its return to flight after nearly three years. The mission matched the rocket’s payload record and expanded the growing broadband constellation. The satellites will raise their orbits to operational altitude, helping deliver global internet coverage and improving connectivity in remote and underserved regions worldwide as the company continues deploying more satellites to build a competitive space-based communications network in the coming years.
