As Amazon Chase SpaceX on the Internet Satellite Market, E-Commerce and Computing Giant counts Elon Musk Company -Company Company to get the next batch of devices into space.
On Wednesday, if the weather permits, 24 Kuiper satellites will ride one of the SpaceX Falcon 9 missiles on the Florida space coast. The 27-minute launch for the mission called “KF-01” opens at 2:18 am.
Launch will be live The X Social Media Platform also belongs to Musk.
Mission means an unusual union. Currently, Starlink SpaceX is a dominant supplier of low -level satellite internet, with a constellation of approximately 8,000 satellites and about 5 million customers worldwide.
Amazon launched Project Kuiper In 2019 More than 3,000 satellites will be provided to provide broadband Internet. The company operates at a tough term imposed by the Federal Communications Commission, which requires about 1600 satellites in orbit by the end of July 2026.
The first two launches of Kuiper Amazon came April and JuneBy sending 27 satellites every time on board the United Start Alliance supplied.
Assuming the launch on Wednesday is successful, Amazon will have a total of 78 satellites in orbit. In order to perform the hard term FCC, Amazon must quickly produce and expand satellites, providing a large amount of power from missile providers. Kuiper booked up to 83 launches, including three rides from SpaceX.
Cosmos appeared as a battlefield between Moscow and Amazon founder Jeff BezosTwo of the richest people in the world. In addition to Kuiper, Bezos also competes with Musk through its Blue Origin missile.
In January, Blue Origin first sent its massive new Glenn missile, which is designed to competition Spacex Falcon Falcon 9 Rockets. While Blue Origin is currently passing SpaceX, bezos Last year is predicted Its latest enterprise will once be greater than Amazon, which he started in 1994.
Kuiper has become one of Amazon’s largest rates, and more than $ 10 billion has been allocated for the project. Companies may need to spend as much as $ 23 billion to build a complete constellation, Bank of America analysts have written in a note last week. This figure does not include the cost of building terminals that consumers will use to connect to the service.
This year, analysts estimate Amazon, and in the fourth quarter is $ 150 million for launch, while satellite production costs are forecast to $ 1.1 billion.
Amazon goes after a market that is expected to grow at least $ 40 billion by 2030 Boston Consulting Group. The firm estimated that Amazon could bring $ 7.1 billion from Kuiper by 2032, when it claims to be 30% of the market.
“With solid early Starlink growth, our estimates can be conservative,” analysts write.
