Similar to other satellite internet services, ULA will bring Amazon's Project Kuiper to the low-Earth orbit (LEO), joining the other contenders in the market. This would be the first batch of production satellites under Project Kuiper that will be delivered to orbit, with this also marking ULA's new chapter in commercial launches for partner companies like Amazon. Amazon Project Kuiper vs. Starlink Two years ago, Amazon launched their first foray into satellite internet technology under Project Kuiper, and it went with United Launch Alliance with their Atlas V rocket to bring their prototypes to orbit. However, several months later, Amazon took down the first two satellites that it tested. Despite this, the company plans to launch as much as 3,000 units to space. Despite all these, Elon Musk's Starlink is known for thriving in the industry as the company not only expanded its reach to different corners of the globe but is also widely available in many regions. Apart from this, SpaceX has also debuted Starlink's Direct-to-Cell technology that bypasses the need for a terminal to connect to the internet, with the company known for partnering with T-Mobile for the service's availability in US. While Starlink is clearly ahead of Project Kuiper, this does not hold back Amazon from still pursuing the satellite internet industry with their technology. Moreover, Amazon has also introduced the terminals that will be available to purchase once it starts the service, with more to follow in the future.
