Amazon says it now has enough satellites in orbit to begin commercial operations of its Leo internet-from-space service later this year, marking the most significant milestone yet in its bid to challenge SpaceX's Starlink.
The company launched 29 satellites aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket in the early hours of Thursday, bringing its total constellation to more than 390 satellites.
That is "enough to support continuous service across initial latitudes," Chris Weber, vice president of business and product for Amazon Leo, said in a post on X.
