Amazon has successfully launched the first pair of satellites for its Project Kuiper system, marking a significant step towards its goal of building a global satellite internet network. The satellites were launched into space on an Atlas V rocket after several delays and changes in launch plans. Amazon has signed contracts with various rocket companies, including ULA and Blue Origin, for a total of 77 launches over the next five years. The company plans to launch its first production Kuiper satellites in the first half of next year and begin beta testing with customers by the end of 2024.
