Eine United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V Rocket, die heute (28. April) um 19:01 Uhr EDT (2301 GMT) von 27 von Amazon’s von Floridas Cape Canaveral Space Force Station abgehoben wurde "Projekt Kuiper" Breitbandraum
Es war das erste von mehr als 80 geplanten Starts, um das Projekt Kuiper MegaconStellation aufzubauen, das schließlich mehr als 3.200 Raumschiffe beherbergen wird.
Das ist eine große Zahl, aber es wird keinen Rekord aufstellen. Das StarLink -Breitbandnetz von SpaceX, das bereits den Service für Kunden auf der ganzen Welt weiterleitet, besteht derzeit aus mehr als 7.200 operativen Raumschiffen.

Project Kuiper is a $10 billion initiative that was announced in 2019. Amazon’s plan is to launch a total of 3,236 satellites into low-Earth orbit. The aim is to provide global broadband internet to consumers, businesses, and governments. This is a customer base that SpaceX has been serving with its Starlink business.
The 27 satellites were launched atop an Atlas V rocket from the Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) joint-venture, United Launch Alliance. The launch took place at 7 p.m. EDT from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s launch pad. The initial launch attempt, scheduled for April 9, was postponed due to bad weather.

So next launch in 6 months-1 year when they can build another Atlas rocket?
Space Junk , time the world stand together and regulate what goes into the skies above us .
Yay… just what the world needs, more space junk just floating around.
I do want. Sat inet without a psychopath at the helm. Lets go!
……so… Capitalism has now reached space in such a way that tens of thousands of satellites can’t even be shared by the oligarchs, they need their gaddamn own full sets surrounding the planet, with the same functions, just for more billions?? Okay 😩
All part of the grand plan to make ground based telescopes unusable and force astronomers to launch their instruments into orbit using somebody’s rocket.
Internet controlled by a bunch of filthy rich dictator wannabes. No thanks.
Mom: We have Starlink at home
Starlink at home:
(non reusable rocket that will need 120 launches to reach 3k satellites does anyone actually believe this nonsense?)
Why are they even allowed to use Kuiper’s name on this?
