Amazon to launch much-awaited satellites to rival SpaceX
Business Standard
|October 06, 2023
Dubbed the protoflight mission, it'll be the first in-flight test of the firm's ambitious Project Kuiper initiative, on which it has pledged to spend over $10 bn
Amazon.com is poised to launch its first two test satellites for Project Kuiper on Friday, as Jeff Bezos' tech giant races to build out a massive internet-from space constellation to compete with SpaceX's Starlink.
The test satellites are set to take off on United Launch Alliance's Atlas V workhorse rocket in Florida at 2 pm local time. Dubbed the "protoflight" mission, the satellites, which Amazon hoped to have in space a year ago, are meant to test out the company's ability to beam broadband internet from orbit.
It'll be the first in-flight test of Amazon's ambitious Project Kuiper initiative, on which it's pledged to spend more than $10 billion.

In a video conversation with Manojit Saha and Subrata Panda, he says the bank's internal processes are robust enough to address issues that surface, and it remains focused on growth. Edited excerpts:
