Australian media reported that the Kuiper internet network is set to compete against billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink, which touts itself as the world's largest satellite provider, to offer broadband internet services to consumers.

Amazon boasted a "100% success rate" within the first 30 days of the launch of the prototype satellites from Florida aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket.

The prototype satellites facilitated connectivity for two-way video calls, streaming HD movies on Prime Video, and ordering on Amazon.

“Kuiper was an idea on a piece of paper a few years ago, and everything we’ve learned so far from our Protoflight mission validates our original vision and architecture,” said Project Kuiper vice president of technology Rajeev Badyal.

"We still have a lot of hard work ahead, and scaling for mass production won't be easy," Badyal admitted.

According to reports, the US Federal Communications Commission has required Amazon to deploy half of its 3000-planned satellite constellation by 2026.

Building on the momentum of the prototype tests, Amazon is already building satellites next month for launch in the second quarter of 2024, Badyal told Reuters.

Amazon did not reveal how many satellites Amazon would launch per rocket.

The satellites will provide broadband coverage in some parts of the world by 2024 and in early 2025.

Reports say partners and telecoms Vodafone and Verizon will test the service.

Last year, Amazon announced the largest commercial rocket procurement—83 launches—from various companies, including Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance, and Arianespace.

Reuters reported that United Launch Alliance is set to carry the first set batches of Kuiper satellites aboard its Atlas 5 and its upcoming Vulcan rocket.
