Overview
  • Amazon sent up its fourth batch of Kuiper internet satellites.
  • A SpaceX-owned Falcon 9 rocket carried 24 more Kuiper satellites into low-earth orbit, bringing Amazon’s constellation to 102 satellites.
  • Amazon is racing to bring more of its internet-beaming satellites online to meet a regulatory requirement that about half of its satellites must be launched by July 2026.

Amazon shipped another batch of internet-beaming satellites into orbit on Monday atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, after four previous launch attempts were interrupted by weather issues.

Monday’s launch is the fourth Kuiper mission, and Amazon now has 102 satellites in orbit.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 8:35 a.m. ET. Roughly an hour after launch, SpaceX confirmed all 24 of Amazon’s Kuiper satellites were successfully deployed.
