Amazon’s ambitious Project Kuiper officially takes flight as the first batch of its internet satellites successfully launches into orbit after a weather delay. A United Launch Alliance (ULA) rocket carrying 27 Kuiper satellites lifts off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, marking a critical milestone in Amazon’s plan to create a massive satellite-based broadband network that will eventually compete head-to-head with SpaceX’s Starlink.
The launch, originally scheduled for earlier in the week, is delayed due to unfavorable weather conditions but proceeds smoothly. . .
