Amazons Project Kuiper to Begin New Facility

Project Kuiper by Amazon is in the news again. A new satellite processing facility will soon be functional at the Kennedy Space Center.

What is Project Kuiper?
Through a network of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit, Project Kuiper aims to provide worldwide broadband connectivity. Its goal is to provide quick, inexpensive broadband to under-served and unserved populations.

“The Project Kuiper combines an LEO satellite constellation with compact, affordable customer terminals, a global network of ground stations, and resilient communications infrastructure powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). The system will provide high-speed, low-latency broadband on a global scale. Hundreds of millions of people on Earth lack reliable internet access. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers,” says Amazon.

With work beginning on a new satellite-processing facility at Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center, Project Kuiper is one step closer to deploying its whole constellation of satellites.

More than 1000 employees are part of the project. The number is going to increase in the future.

“We have an ambitious plan to begin Project Kuiper’s full-scale production launches and early customer pilots next year, and this new facility will play a critical role in helping us deliver on that timeline. We are proud to partner with Space Florida to bolster the growing space industry in Florida and elsewhere across the United States, and we look forward to adding more talent to our skilled operations and manufacturing team,” informs Steve Metayer, vice president Kuiper Production Operations.

Up to 50 new jobs could be created on the Space Coast thanks to Amazon’s $120 million investment in the new building and high-end equipment.
