As part of Amazon’s Project Kuiper, three heavy-lift rockets will put thousands of satellites into low Earth orbit over the next five years. Project Kuiper will launch a constellation of around 3,236 low Earth orbit satellites in order to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband to places without reliable internet connectivity. Amazon has planned 83 launches over the next five years. The rockets are being manufactured by Arianespace, United Launch Alliance (ULA) and Blue Origin.
