Amazon Working With Elon Musk’s SpaceX To Provide Internet

Amazon, an American multinational technology company, aims to provide internet in remote areas. The company has signed a contract with Elon Musk-owned SpaceX in order to take a step forward in its mission. 

Amazon is reportedly working with SpaceX, an American spacecraft manufacturer, launch service provider, defense contractor and satellite communications company, to provide internet in remote areas.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos have a long history of trolling each other. They are not afraid of little competition. SpaceX has more than 5,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, while Amazon has two Kuiper satellites in orbit. 

Project Kuiper by Amazon

Last month, Amazon launched a pair of two prototype satellites for its Project Kuiper network. The project is an initiative by Amazon to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

Earlier this month, Amazon announced that the satellites were operating successfully. The company signed a contract with SpaceX to take these satellites in orbit.

Amazon said that the “launches with SpaceX offer even more capacity to support our deployment schedule.”
