Amazon Launches Project Kuiper Satellites

Amazon sent satellites to space on Monday. It wants to make a big group of satellites, like SpaceX. SpaceX already has many Starlink satellites in space right now.

A rocket called Atlas V took 27 satellites up for Amazon. These satellites are part of Project Kuiper. They will go about 400 miles high when they are working.

Amazon wants to send over 3,200 satellites into space. This will give fast internet to everyone around the world. Jeff Bezos started Amazon and now runs Blue Origin, a rocket company.

Some people do not like the many satellites in space. They say satellites make it hard to see stars. People also worry about satellites crashing into each other.

Amazon tested the satellites a lot on the ground. They said you can learn more when you fly them. The company had to wait for good weather to launch the rocket.
