BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — United Launch Alliance is counting down to the next launch of its Atlas V rocket.
The rocket is set to carry the first batch of Amazon’s Kuiper communication satellites into orbit.
Kuiper is the name Amazon is giving its space-based internet service.
Amazon launched a pair of prototypes back in 2023, but this will be the first full-scale deployment.
The two-hour launch window opens at 7 p.m. Wednesday from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
