Amazon has tabbed ULA to launch more than half of the planned 3,200-plus satellites for its $10 billion Project Kuiper internet constellation.

Amazon's second fleet of internet satellites now has a target launch date. The stack of 27 satellites, part of Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation, is scheduled to launch on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket next Monday (June 16).

The spaceflight company released footage on Saturday showing the rocket’s upper stage -- called the Starship -- being moved toward the launchpad at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. SpaceX is gearing up for the ninth test flight of its Starship megarocket.

United Launch Alliance will launch its 2nd batch of Amazon satellites into space — and it's possible people can see Atlas V rocket far beyond Florida.

SpaceX celebrated the 500th launch of a Falcon rocket last week with the Starlink 12-19 mission, which was also the company’s 70th launch of the year and its first for June. SpaceX achieved a total of 17 launches in May, with 16 Falcon 9 launches and the ninth test flight of Starship.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is on the launch pad carrying Amazon’s Project Kuiper internet network satellites, which are expected to eventually rival Elon Musk’s Starlink system, at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Florida, U.S., April 9, 2025.

Project Kuiper aims to provide global broadband internet coverage through a network of low Earth orbit satellites.

Investing.com -- Truist analysts anticipate that Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN )’s Project Kuiper, its emerging satellite internet offering, should become “incrementally more important” to the company’s growth story as it accelerates satellite launches and begins commercialization by the end of 2025.
