We’ve got three Kuiper missions under our belt and lots more to come. Our satellite processing facility in Florida was operational in time to support those first missions, and gives us the capacity to process 100+ satellites each month and support up to 3 concurrent launch campaigns from the Cape. It’s pretty incredible to look across the Cape and see a 120-foot-tall Amazon building on the horizon, just down the road from NASA’s iconic Vehicle Assembly Building and the landing facility where multiple Space Shuttles returned to Earth. Really proud to have a permanent footprint on the Space Coast, and big thanks to Janet Petro, Space Florida, and the entire Amazon Project Kuiper team for making it happen.

Rocket launches don’t keep normal business hours, but overnight missions are worth it for results like this. This was the view from space at 3:36 am ET, minutes after all satellites from our KF-01 mission were released from the dispenser system. Everything happened right on schedule, with one satellite released every 20 seconds over an eight-minute period, and all 24 satellites are power positive and operating nominally in orbit. Thanks to the Amazon Project Kuiper and SpaceX teams for a smooth start to our KF-01 mission. Go Kuiper! Go KF-01!

We’ve been engaged with the astronomy community since the initial design and development of Project Kuiper, and we’re pleased to build on that collaboration with a formal coordination agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF). The agreement establishes a dynamic framework that will evolve alongside technological advancements in both satellite operations and astronomical research, ensuring long-term compatibility between these crucial activities.

We partnered with the Lake Washington Institute of Technology to create their first-ever specialized six-month certification program covering aerospace assembly, electronics manufacturing, fiber optics, and avionics wiring. We’re proud to have three graduates from that program join our team. Dezmond, Nadine, and Tony have transformed their careers within Amazon and are now helping to manufacture satellites that will provide global internet access.
