What's the story
Amazon has once again taken the help of Elon Musk's SpaceX to launch its next batch of Project Kuiper internet satellites.
The mission, dubbed KF-01, is set for today at 2:18am ET from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
A total of 24 Kuiper satellites will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket during this mission.
Project details Amazon could spend $23 billion to build Kuiper constellation
Amazon has invested over $10 billion in Project Kuiper, with analysts estimating the company could spend up to $23 billion to build its full constellation.
This estimate doesn't include terminal costs for consumers.
Despite these high costs, the satellite internet market is projected to grow to at least $40 billion by 2030.
If Amazon captures 30% of this market, it could generate $7.1 billion in sales from Kuiper by 2032.
