Amazon's Project Kuiper has been working on building a competitor to SpaceX’s Starlink low-Earth orbit-based satellite internet for years.

Amazon plans to launch its first two prototype satellites sometime in 2023 aboard the first United Launch Alliance flight of its all-new Vulcan Centaur rocket.

The goal after that is to have mass production of its spacecraft kick off later in the year, with production version launches beginning in 2024.
