Amazon was ready to take another big step toward building its space-based internet network, Project Kuiper. A powerful rocket stood tall on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, filled with 27 internet satellites and prepared for liftoff.

The 27 satellites were launched via a ULA Atlas V rocket just before 10:30 a.m. Monday from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This expedition is all in the name of Project Kuiper—Amazon’s initiative to provide fast, reliable broadband to customers around the world.
