Amazon reveals new date for debut Project Kuiper launch

It was found that Amazon’s inaugural launch of its project Kuper Internet Satellites on April 9 is not like that when the poor weather conditions pushed the mission team to postpone the takeoff.

Until Thursday, we have not heard anything from Amazon and UNITED LAUNCH Alliance (Ula) – Rockting Atlas V with a new target launch date. But on Friday, they finally revealed a schedule.

Lala said in a post on social media: “Kuper 1, the launch of the Ula Atlas V 551 missile bearing the first production satellite for the Amazon Kuiper project, which was planned on April 28.”

He continued: “It is scheduled to be launched at 7 pm EST in the opening of a two -hour window, from the 41st space launch complex at the Cape Capeeral Fores Fores station, Florida, adding:” This launch begins a new chapter in the commercial launch industry with Amazon partners with Ula to present the first batch of advanced satellite to the low orbit (LEO)

With the Project Kuper, one of Amazon goals is to get the Internet Starlink service from Spacex, which started in 2019 and now provides a wide connection to individuals and companies through a growing group of small satellites.

The Amazon mission will be published on April 28, 27 Moon Projects in Kuper to Orbit – the maximum number of Kuper satellites that Rocket Atlas V in Ula can carry in one publication.

For subsequent missions, Amazon will also use the newer Volcan missile than ULA, which can carry up to 45 kuper satellites on one trip, as well as New Glenn, a new heavy missile managed by blue origin.

Amazon plans to build a constellation of about 3,200 Kuper satellites by 2029. This will be sufficient to provide global wide coverage, giving it an opportunity to compete with the SPACEX Starlink service.

In a letter to shareholders in 2023, Amazon Andy Jaci president said that Keper is our low-Earth orbit “aimed at providing a wide range of scale contact with 400-500 million families that they do not have today (as well as governments and institutions that seek to obtain better communication and performance in more distant areas), describing it as” a very great opportunity for the luminous for the father in favor. “
