Amazon deploys the first Project Kuiper internet satellites

Amazon successfully launched its first 27 Project Kuiper satellites on an Atlas V rocket after overcoming initial delays, which were attributed to production bottlenecks. Despite claims of schedule slippage, the company later confirmed success in placing these satellites into low Earth orbit. Amazon now plans over 80 future launches with increased production and launch rates, aiming to provide global internet access to remote areas, competing with SpaceX's Starlink system.
