ULA A second batch of Amazon’s Kuiper satellites has blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket. The game-changing satellites are set to be positioned into low Earth orbit where they will eventually be joined by over 3,000 others, allowing Amazon to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access virtually anywhere in the world. Using its most advanced satellites, Amazon says it will be able to provide an internet service that offers downlink speeds of up to one gigabit per second (Gbps). “We are proud to continue our strong partnership with Amazon and empower their mission to bridge the digital divide through reliable satellite technology,” said Gary Wentz, ULA Vice President of Government and Commercial Programs. “ULA, working as a catalyst to global connectivity in collaboration with Amazon, enables delivery of these critical satellites designed to drive innovation and connect the world.” The Atlas V rocket successfully lifted off on June 23, 2025, from Space Launch Complex-41, after a previously planned launch for June 16, 2025, was postponed. 3,2,1…liftoff!
