  • The satellites were deployed into low Earth orbit aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
  • Project Kuiper is Amazon's $10 billion initiative aimed at deploying a constellation of 3,236 satellites to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet services worldwide, particularly targeting underserved and remote regions.
  • The project's mission operations center is based in Redmond, Washington, where the satellites are managed and monitored.
  • The 27 satellites were placed into orbit approximately 280 miles (450 kilometers) above Earth. Amazon has confirmed that all satellites are active and communicating with ground control.
