Amazon has announced that it has purchased three rocket launchers from SpaceX as part of Project Kuiper, its project to put internet satellites into orbit. The move is aimed at boosting Amazon's efforts to achieve the Kuiper Project goals and successfully deploy its satellites into space.
The Kuiper Project is an initiative to put hundreds of satellites into orbit to provide broadband internet service. Aiming to be a pioneer in this field, Amazon plans to use SpaceX's rocket launch service to transport these satellites into space. This collaboration demonstrates the dynamics of competition and cooperation between major technology companies in the space industry.
Amazon said it had reached an agreement with SpaceX to launch three Falcon 9 rockets by mid-2025, but did not disclose financial details. This agreement is considered to be a strategic step, especially for launching the Kuiper Project's planned satellites into orbit within the specified period.
This initiative is an important step that demonstrates the interaction of technology giants in space, highlighting the potential for competition and cooperation between projects aiming to provide broadband internet service in space.
