GRThe Amazon-owned satellite internet network Leo has launched over 390 satellites into orbit, according to a statement by a company executive. The initial service launch is expected later this year, though specific regions for early coverage were not disclosed. The Leo network aims to compete with SpaceX’s established Starlink system, which currently operates around 10,000 satellites. Amazon plans to provide internet services through specialized terminals, targeting both individual users and governments or businesses such as airlines. The company had previously aimed for a mid-2026 launch but has accelerated progress due to contracts involving multi-billion-dollar rocket launches. So far, the Atlas V rocket from United Launch Alliance has been the main launch vehicle, while other rockets like Blue Origin’s New Glenn and ULA’s Vulcan remain delayed.
