Amazon's Project Kuiper is a satellite internet initiative by Amazon to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities globally. As a subsidiary of Amazon, Kuiper Systems LLC aims to deploy a constellation of over 3,200 satellites in low Earth orbit. It will operate as an internet service provider, serving individual households, schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations. The project has secured launch agreements with multiple providers, including ULA, Arianespace, SpaceX and Blue Origin.
