News Synopsis

Amazon has finally announced the launch of its first internet satellites. On Monday, the company released the statement by saying that the satellites will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Federal Communications Commission has approved the network in 2020 with a deadline to launch at least half of its 3,236 satellites by 2026.


The launch of both the satellites, Kuipersat-1 and Kuipersat-2, will take place separately from the ABL Space system. Amazon is also trying to keep it cost-effective for customers. The news has come out about the employees being too pressured due to cutting the cost for the final version of satellites.
