United Launch Alliance launched two prototype satellites for Project Kuiper on 2023-10-06.
KuiperSat-1 and KuiperSat-2 are operating at an altitude of 500 km to test space and ground systems for Project Kuiper before full-scale production launches start next year.
Kuiper-1 and Kuiper-2 are intended to test space-based systems that will be used on operational Project Kuiper spacecraft, including connectivity with terminals and required ground infrastructure.
Initial Project Kuiper production satellites are on track to launch in the first half of 2024, enabling beta tests with early commercial customers by the end of 2024.
