ULA Atlas V Launches 29 Amazon Kuiper Satellites in Return Mission
An Atlas V rocket has successfully launched 29 satellites for Project Kuiper, marking its return to flight after nearly three years. The mission matched the rocket’s payload record and expanded the growing broadband constellation. The satellites will raise their orbits to operational altitude, helping deliver global internet coverage and improvin...

Scientists Propose Space Missions to Chase Down Interstellar Comets
A Southwest Research Institute study reveals that chasing interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS is achievable with current rockets and instruments. Such missions could collect data on comet nuclei and comae, providing clues to the formation of other star systems. International collaborations make these rare, high-value missions increasingly realistic.

Amazon's Kuiper Launches 27 Satellites, Eyes 2025 LEO Broadband Rollout
Amazon’s Project Kuiper is intensifying efforts to compete in the low Earth orbit (LEO) broadband race. With 27 satellites launched in April 2025 and plans for a 3,200-satellite constellation, Amazon has locked in dozens of launches across ULA, Blue Origin, Arianespace, and SpaceX. This move follows its successful 2023 prototypes and aligns with ...

Amazon Switches Spacecraft for Launching Internet Satellites Next Month
Amazon plans to launch its first pair of prototype internet satellites late next month on a different rocket than previously planned, to avoid mounting rocket delays. The company will launch the first two satellites for Amazon's Kuiper program aboard a dedicated Atlas V rocket from the Boeing-Lockheed joint venture.
