Amazon announced on July 16 that Elon Musk’s company SpaceX has successfully rocketed a third batch of satellites into orbit, enabling the e-commerce giant to move closer to providing its yet-to-be-launched internet service to customers worldwide.
As part of Amazon’s Project Kuiper, the e-commerce giant’s highly anticipated initiative to provide low-cost, high-speed internet to millions worldwide, the KF-01 mission was launched at 2:30 a.m. ET on SpaceX’s reusable Falcon 9 booster rocket at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
