On the 27th, the American company Amazon used the United Launch Alliance to launch a rocket carrying 29 satellites for its Low Earth Orbit satellite project. At 8:53 p.m. Eastern Time on the 27th, the United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket carrying 29 satellites was launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The United Launch Alliance later confirmed that the rocket had successfully deployed the satellites into Low Earth Orbit. According to the plan, later this week, the European Arianespace's Ariane 6 rocket will launch another batch of 32 satellites for Amazon's Low Earth Orbit satellite project from the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana. The Amazon Low Earth Orbit satellite project, originally known as the "Kuiper Project", is Amazon's satellite broadband network project, aiming to provide fast and reliable internet services to global users by deploying thousands of satellites in Low Earth Orbit.
