December 4, 2023 |Publisher's Note

To help deploy its Kuiper satellite system, Amazon said Friday, it contracted with SpaceX for three Falcon 9 rocket launches. It said the three come atop 77 launches already contracted with Blue Origin, Arianespace and United Launch Alliance (see 2204050003), giving Amazon "even more capacity to support our deployment schedule." It said the Falcon 9 launches are targeted to start in mid-2025.
