Amazon to send fleet of satellites to space in step to provide internet service for customers​

​

Amazon's Project Kuiper this month will launch more than two dozen satellites into space, a step the company said will lead toward bringing fast, reliable internet to customers worldwide.

While the satellites orbit, the team will send data from the internet, through its ground infrastructure, up to the satellites, and down to customer terminal antennas, and then repeat the journey in the other direction.

Project Kuiper will provide high-speed, low-latency internet to almost any location on Earth.

The satellite system will include more than 3,200 advanced low-Earth orbit satellites, and the company has already planned more than 80 launches, according to a statement.

Amazon expects to begin delivering its internet service to customers later this year.


I can almost hear Jeff Bezos's creepy laugh.

"Starlink, smarlink."

All of this without a bloated, bureaucratic Government agency. Private industry is the future of space travel. Time to cut NASA back into a tiny regulatory agency. Around 20 people should be enough.
