Amazon set to launch its LEO satellite internet later this year

Amazon says it now has enough satellites in orbit to begin commercial operations of its Leo internet-from-space service later this year, Euronews writes.

The company launched 29 satellites aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket in the early hours of Thursday, bringing its total constellation to more than 390 satellites.

Amazon announced its satellite internet project Project Kuiper in 2019 and rebranded it as Amazon Leo in November 2025.

The company aims to build a constellation of roughly 3,236 satellites, though deployment has been hampered by a shortage of rocket capacity and a series of launch setbacks.
