Project Kuiper's satellites and the TikTok hypothesis at Amazon: the challenge between Bezos and Musk on new fronts

On April 9, the first 27 satellites of the Amazon constellation for Internet from space take off from Florida. And if Bezos were to prevail in the race to acquire TikTok, a new front would open up with Musk, even on social media.

In a new post on its website, Amazon has explained why next April 9th is going to be a very important day for the company of Jeff Bezos. The Kuiper Project, on which the company has been working for years, will finally give an important exit gun with the launch of a set of low altitude satellites with which it will offer Internet connectivity. It will be about 27 satellites that Amazon will send to space from the base of Cape Canaveral, Florida,…

The first of more than 80 launches to put satellites into low Earth orbit is scheduled for next week.

The e-commerce giant is going to embark on a new activity, which is familiar to us: the Internet via satellite. Amazon wants in the long term to be able to compete with the sector's giant, Starlink.
