The spacecraft are the online giant\u2019s entry into beaming wireless service from space, but the company has much to do before it can compete with SpaceX\u2019s Starlink.<\/p>\n

The battle of billionaires in space between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk<\/a> is ready to enter a new arena: satellite internet.<\/p>\n

Amazon, the company that Mr. Bezos started as an online bookseller three decades ago, is now a merchandising behemoth, the owner of the James Bond franchise, a seller of electronic gadgets like Echo smart speakers and one of the most powerful providers of cloud computing.<\/p>\n

So perhaps it is not a surprise that Amazon is now launching the first few of thousands of satellites known as Project Kuiper to provide another option for remaining connected in the modern world. The market for beaming high-speed internet to the ground from orbit is currently dominated by Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX rocket company, which operates a similar service, Starlink. Starlink, with thousands of satellites in orbit<\/a> and more launching nearly every week, already serves several million customers around the world.<\/p>\n

The first attempt to send the satellites to orbit, on April 9, was postponed because of poor weather at the launch site. On Monday, the company is ready to try again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
