According to Brand Value (China)Network, Project Kuiper is Amazon’s initiative to provide fast, affordable broadband to communities around the world . To achieve this goal, Amazon plans to send 3,236 satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) that will cost 10 billion dollars. In 2018, Amazon began research and development on Project Kuiper. In July 2020, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted Amazon a license to deploy and operate Project Kuiper satellites which required Amazon to send half of its planned 3,236 satellites into low Earth orbit(LEO) by July, 2026.

Space X, the most active rocket operator in the world, was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk in the hopes of revolutionizing the aerospace industry and making affordable spaceflight a reality. The company entered the arena with the Falcon 1 rocket, a two-stage liquid-fueled craft designed to send small satellites into orbit. In 2010, Space X first launched its Falcon 9, a bigger reused craft so named for its use of nine engines. Space X is Amazon’s main rival in the internet satellite business.
