Launch & Deployment

Project Kuiper began a full-scale deployment in April 2025—the first of more than 80 launches from Arianespace, Blue Origin, SpaceX, and United Launch Alliance (ULA)—to deploy our initial satellite constellation. Those agreements comprise the largest commercial procurement of launch capacity in history, and support thousands of suppliers and highly skilled jobs across the U.S. and Europe.

People & Technology
Project Kuiper combines a low Earth orbit satellite constellation with compact, affordable customer terminals, a global network of ground stations, and resilient communications infrastructure powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). The system will provide high-speed, low latency broadband on a global scale.

Safety & Sustainability

Amazon is committed to operating safely and responsibly in space, and we’ve designed our entire constellation to minimize the risk of orbital debris. We’re also working with astronomers to explore ways to reduce the visibility of our satellites and avoid interference with scientific research.

More than 2,000 people at Amazon are working on Project Kuiper, and the team continues to grow.
