Jeff Bezos' Project Kuiper said Wednesday it is planning to launch 27 satellites April 9 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. It's the project's first full batch of the internet connection satellites.

A launch date is set for the first batch of what will be thousands of satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper as the company looks to play catch-up with SpaceX and its Starlink internet constellation.

Atlas V rocket will carry 27 Kuiper satellites into orbit, marking the commencement of Amazon’s large-scale satellite deployment. This launch is not merely a technical milestone; it represents Amazon’s strategic commitment to establishing a formidable presence in space-based internet services.
