Amazon’s Project Kuiper is moving rapidly from concept to large-scale implementation, aiming to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband services to communities and organisations that are unserved or underserved by existing terrestrial infrastructure. The programme involves deploying a constellation of more than 3,200 satellites in low Earth orbit, supported by an extensive ground network and customer terminal technology. The initiative began research and development in 2018, with formal approval from the US Federal Communications Commission in 2020. After launching two prototype satellites in 2023, Amazon commenced production satellite deployment in April 2025. The pace of activity has since accelerated, with four missions completed in under four months and more than 100 satellites now in orbit . This early progress is part of a planned series of over 80 launches that will populate the initial constellation by the end of the decade. The system architecture is based on three core com...
