Cape Canaveral, FL. – The first batch of Amazon’s Internet satellite entered the orbit on Monday, the latest entry in the mega constellation market is currently influenced by thousands of SpaceX’s starlinks.
The Atlas vs Rocket Amazon project of the United Lunch Alliance carried 2 27 of the Qiper satellite, named after the frost of our solar system outside Neptune. Once the orbit has been published, the satellites will eventually reach the height of about 400 miles (630 km).
Two Test satellites were launched in 2021, Atlas V. Project officials also said the new version was upgraded to big. The latest satellites are coated with a mirror film designed to spread the sunlight reflected for astronomers.
Stargazers oppose the rapidly growing stars of short-satellite satellites, arguing that they destroy observations. Others are afraid of more satellite collisions.
Established by Jeff Bezos, who is now running Blue Origin, Amazon, aims to put more than 3,200 satellites in these satellite orbit, which can provide faster, affordable broadband services around the world.
Elon Mask’s SpaceX has already launched more than 8,000 starlinks since 2019. The company identified its 250th Starlink launch on Sunday night. , More than 000,3 starlinks are still in the orbit about 300-plus miles (550 km) above the earth.
European -based Oneweb satellite stars are more than hundreds in higher orbit.
Amazon has already purchased a dozens of rocket launches from United Lunch Alliance and Blue Origin for others, as well as others.
Rajiv Badial, vice president of the project, said “You can learn only in the aircraft” despite extensive tests on the ground.
In a statement before the evening elevator, he said, “Considering how the mission is revealed, it is just the beginning of our journey.”
Earlier this month, the first elevator attempt was made by bad weather. It took to secure another place at the Launch Lineup at the Cape Canaveral Space Force station.
