JAKARTA Dozens of Kuiper Project satellites will be launched again in the near future. As part of the second satellite launch mission, Amazon will place the satellite in low earth orbit (LEO).
Amazon revealed that it would launch 27 satellites. Dozens of space-based internet will be delivered using the Atlas V rocket belonging to the United Launch Alliance (ULA) on June 16.
"We are preparing for the launch of the next Kuiper Project satellite with ULA. Named KA-02 for our second Kuiper launch, this mission will send 27 more satellites into orbit," Amazon said, quoted on Tuesday, June 12.
KA-02, as short as Kuiper Atlas 2, will launch from the Space-41 Launch Complex on Cape Canaveral Space Station. Its launch time could change as Amazon added a statement 'not earlier than June 16'.
ULA will prepare a series of launches, including the Kuiper satellite deployment process at an altitude of 450 kilometers above Earth. If it has been placed in orbit, Amazon's Kuiper Project team will monitor the health of satellites.

If all Kuiper satellites operate smoothly, the team will lift the satellite to higher orbit. Dozens of these satellites will be placed at an altitude of 630 kilometers from above the Earth's surface.
The first launch for the Kuiper Project was carried out last April. At that time, Amazon and ULA also launched 27 satellites into space. With the addition of this number of satellites, Amazon will have 54 satellites operating as a whole.
Targetnya, Amazon akan memiliki 3.200 satelit di LEO, bersaing dengan ribuan satelit milik SpaceX. Untuk mencapai target tersebut, Amazon akan meluncurkan lebih dari 80 misi dalam waktu beberapa tahun.
