Atlas V Rocket Launch of Amazon Project Kuiper Satellites | United Launch Alliance
A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket was launched at 6:54 a.m. EDT (1054 UTC), June 23, 2025, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, with the second grouping of satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband constellation. The Kuiper payloads are the heaviest ever carried by Atlas V at 34,000 pounds (15,400 kg). The satellites rode to space attached to a special dispensing tower and were release at predetermined intervals. This launch featured the most separation events ever performed in a single Atlas launch.
Project Kuiper is Amazon's low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network. Its mission is to provide fast, reliable Internet access to customers around the world, including those in unserved and underserved communities, using a constellation of more than 3,200 LEO satellites.
