The first full-scale mission of Amazon's Project Kuiper has slipped to the end of 2024, a year after the company finally got its prototype satellites into orbit.
Kuiper Systems will face competition from ViaSat and Boeing's Starliner for Atlas V launch slots from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) pad.
Amazon says the constellation will consist of 3,236 satellites.
Under its FCC license, the company is required to launch half of its satellites by July 30, 2026, and the rest by July 2029.
