Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Colorado-headquartered United Launch Alliance launched on Tuesday a fresh set of Amazon Internet satellites into orbit.
An Atlas V rocket from ULA launched 27 Amazon Leo satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 3:28 a.m. EST.
"The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket has delivered its fourth success for Amazon Leo, deploying another 27 advanced broadband satellites into space," ULA posted on X just after 5 a.m. local time.
A little before 6 a.m., Amazon officials confirmed deployment of the more than two dozen satellites to its constellation and were "operating nominally on orbit."
ULA congratulated Amazon on the "successful launch of this critical payload."
