Amazon will start launching its Project Kuiper Starlink rival next week

After Recent trialsAmazon finally, the project is ready to present the Project Kuiper Space Internet Project Opponent Elon Musk’s Starlink has been announced. The first part of the 27 satellite in the mission of KA-01 (Kuiper Atlas 1), a launch of a launch union in April 9 began to launch Atlas. Amazon hopes to start offering high-speed Internet service “at the end of this year.”

The Amazon network consists of 3,200 satellites launched from the partners, including Ula, Arianespace, blue origin and even space. Like this company Starkink, the project will cover the entire planet when the service is completed. The speeds will work with a small container until seven inches, which are as small as 100 MB / s Starlink minior up to 1Gbps with larger food. The company said the price of terminals will be lower than $ 400.

The satellites will be a cruise in 17,000 mph 392 mph, which covers the planet in about 90 minutes. Amazon said that they will use a dialectical mirror film cover that sow light and look less visible for surface-based astronomers. SpaceX’s constellation currently uses more than 7,000 satellites, so the Project Kuiper and Starlink Fleet will use more than 10,000 Leo satellites after the completion of the Amazon network.

Amazon has initiated In October 2023, he declared the two test satellites and early tests a success, sends the couple quickly to 100 gigabins per second. Later in December unemployed The network with a network of high-speed laser cross-links networking faster. The company claims that about 30 percent of the surface fiber optic cables of the Mesh Network can move faster.

The project will be the hardest download for Atlas V, which will fly in the most powerful configuration of Kuiper. In addition to the main booster of the rocket, there are five solid rocket amplifiers and 77 feet high and a load of 16.4 feet wide in 16.4 feet.

Despite the former successful tests, the mission is not risk-free. “We had a wide test in place to prepare the first mission, but there are only some things you can learn in the flight, and this will be the first time we have flew our satellite and place so much satellite,” said Project Kuiper Vice President Rajeev wrote. “This is the beginning of our journey, regardless of how the mission is opened, and there are all the pieces to learn and adapt to the next years.”
