Amazon's Project Kuiper intends to establish a global satellite internet service and serves as a competitor to SpaceX's Starlink. Initially, the service aimed for beta testing by late 2024; however, delays in launching satellites have hindered progress. To comply with FCC regulations, Amazon must operate half of its planned 3,236 satellites by mid-2026. The company has secured 83 launch contracts with several rocket companies, indicating active efforts to achieve its objectives despite the setbacks in schedule.
Amazon's Project Kuiper is directly competing with SpaceX's Starlink, aiming to deliver internet access to underserved regions globally, though its launch progress has experienced delays.
Despite initial plans for a beta test in 2024, the lack of timely satellite launches means Project Kuiper might not be available to the public until 2028.
