Amazon's LEO satellite constellation hits 400, broadband launch imminent

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Register ·

Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite constellation now has nearly 400 satellites in low Earth orbit, with 29 more launched recently. The company says it will begin broadband service later this year, competing directly with SpaceX's Starlink. The constellation aims to provide global internet coverage, particularly in underserved areas.

Meridian48 take
