Kuiper mission updates: Kuiper constellation grows to more than 100 satellites

Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network, and our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world. Our initial satellite constellation will include more than 3,200 spacecraft, which we began deploying in April 2025 when we sent our first 27 satellites into space. That mission was the first of more than 80 to deploy our constellation.

Follow along here for updates on recent and upcoming Project Kuiper missions.

August 11: Kuiper constellation grows to more than 100 satellites

SpaceX deployed Amazon’s fourth batch of satellites on Monday, August 11, following a Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This KF-02 mission sent another 24 Project Kuiper satellites into orbit, bringing us to 102 spacecraft deployed in less than four months.

The satellites separated from the rocket at an altitude of 289 miles (465 kilometers) above Earth. In the coming months, they will gradually raise themselves to their assigned altitude of 392 miles (630 km).
