So far in the satellite internet world, we have only heard the name of Allen Musk’s Internet company Starlink or have heard more. Starlink also wants to start her services in India and has partnered with Jio and Airtel. Many more companies such as OneWeb are also transporting satellite internet service to the world. Now Amazon has entered the region. Amazon had been watching the dream of fulfilling its project Kuiper for years. It will not take more than 3 thousand satellites to the lower orbit of the earth, not one or two. It started on Monday, when the company brought the first batch of 27 satellite internet to space.
Announcement in 2019, now Launch from Florida
According to reports, Amazon announced Project Kuper in 2019. The company started it on Monday. 27 Internet terminals were transported to low-end orbit. This project of Amazon is about $ 10 billion. The company sets a target to deliver a total of 3236 satellites into space. He will compete directly in the region with Allen Musk’s company Starlink.
What is the purpose of project cuper
The way storlink provides satellite internet services worldwide. In the same way, Amazon will also do this through Kuper project. According to reports, it will deliver satellite internet to areas where the Internet does not have access. The company did not take any help from the storlink during the launch on Monday. He sent his satellite into space with the help of Boeing and Lockheed Martin’s company United Launch Alliance (ULA). The satellite was transported to space via Atlas rocket.
The project has been launched late
Amazon wanted to launch her project Kuper only last year, but it was delayed. The US Federal Communications Commission has asked the company to work fast. Launched at least half of the satellite by June next year. That is, the company will have to launch more than 15 hundred satellite. This is also necessary to compete with the Starlink. If the company is delayed, she may lag behind Alan Masak’s company. The Starlink of Musk is now exiting the US and providing its service to African countries, Asian countries. Amazon will have to start with the US and will not be able to do this on the basis of only 27 satellites. More and more terminals will have to be transported to the space in time.
