The mission, designated Kuiper 2, was delayed due to multiple weather-related setbacks during launch processing. Liftoff is now targeted for 1:25 p.m. EDT, at the opening of a 30-minute launch window from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Project Kuiper aims to deploy a constellation of satellites to provide affordable broadband service around the globe, particularly in underserved communities. An Atlas V 551 rocket, configured with five side-mounted solid rocket boosters and a medium-length payload fairing, will launch the next Project Kuiper satellites into space on the Kuiper 2 mission. The launch continues a new chapter in the commercial launch industry as Amazon partners with ULA to deploy a majority of its advanced satellite constellation using eight Atlas V and 38 Vulcan rockets in accordance with the world’s largest commercial launch agreement.
