The first group of Amazon internet satellites goes into space

According to RCO News Agency, If everything goes through the schedule, the first large batch of Amazon’s Quiper project widespread satellites will only be launched in another week.

According to Space, Amazon has just announced that the Atlas 2 missile is set to send the Kuyper project to the lower orbit of the Earth.

The missile will rise from the Cape Canaral Florida Space Launch Base during a three -hour launch window that opens at 4pm at the time of the east area.

This will be the second launch for the Kuyper project to date. Another Atlas had previously launched two trial versions of the satellites in October 2009.

“We have conducted extensive tests on Earth to prepare for the first mission, but there are things that can only be learned on the flight, and this is the first time we have done our final satellite design, and this is the first time,” said Rajeev Badyal.

“It doesn’t matter how the mission is going, this is just the beginning of our journey, and we have all the pieces to learn and match when preparing for launch,” Badi’il added.

According to Amazon, the initial constellation of the Quiper project will consist of about 5 satellites in the lower orbit of the Earth. The network will provide internet services to customers around the world, just as the SpaceX Starlink SpaceX constellation has done so before. Ilan Musk currently runs more than 5 Starlink satellites in the lower orbit of the Earth and throws more each week.

According to the Amazon report, six satellites are the Koiper project the heaviest cargo that the Atlas 2 missile has ever.

The company will carried out the constellation of the Kuyper project in the coming years with seven other launchers with the Atlantic 2 and 5 launches, including the Vulcan Centaur.

Amazon wrote in his statement: More than 5 launches are planned with other space launch providers such as Arianespace, Blue Origin and Spacex.
