In the footsteps of Elon Musk, it seems that Bezos’ society will finally join the peculiar race of the space Internet. And that’s exactly what Amazon announced plans more than 80 missile launches Arianespace, Blue Origin and the United Launch Alliance (ULA) will begin launching satellites into Earth orbit will serve a relatively inexpensive internet connection.

Although it is a plan for the future, because specifically these launches will not involve anything less than a period of five years to deploy up to 3,236 satellites the creation of the “constellation” Project Kuiper in what the company has already noted is the largest commercial acquisition of launch vehicles in history.

Dave Limp, senior vice president, Amazon Devices & Services, said: “The Kuiper project will provide fast and affordable broadband to tens of millions of customers in underserved communities around the world. We still have a lot of work to do, but the team has continued to reach milestone after milestone in all aspects of our satellite system. These launch agreements reflect our incredible commitment and faith in Project Kuiper, and we are proud to be able to work with such an impressive list of partners to fulfill our mission.“.

And that’s it Amazon strives to provide a high-speed broadband network to all types of customers, including homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, governments, disaster relief operations, mobile operators and anyone in areas with poor or no internet connection. Although prices have not been announced, the company claims that its receivers will be available, so even though we still see high prices compared to terrestrial networks, a lower price can be expected Starlink service, which currently adds up the equipment (499 euros) along with a monthly connection fee (99 euros).

We hope that these launch acquisitions will help the space industry improve its processes so that it can reduce satellite launch costs and pave the way for the future expansion of this type of service; in addition to strengthening job creation in the United States and Europe.
