Elon Musk has long dominated the internet-providing satellites business with regular SpaceX Starlink launches. Now, Jeff Bezos is looking to compete.
Update for 1 p.m. ET on June 16: The planned June 16 launch of the Kuiper-2 mission was scrubbed due to an issue with its United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket — specifically, "an engineering observation of an elevated purge temperature within the booster engine," ULA wrote via X on June 16. No new target launch date has been announced.
Amazon is preparing to launch its second batch of Project Kuiper internet satellites to orbit as it seeks to build out a constellation to take on SpaceX’s Starlink service.
What time is liftoff? ULA's Atlas V should be visible outside of Florida pending weather. Did your city, state make the rocket launch visibility map?
