Amazon debuts first Leo network service
Amazon has launched its initial internet service via its LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite network after sending a new batch of 29 satellites into orbit, bringing the total number of satellites to 394 out of the 398 launched since April 2025. The company aims to start offering the service by mid-2026, initially focusing on the polar regions before gradually expanding toward the equator. This service is competing with SpaceX's Starlink network, which owns approximately 10,000 satellites. Amazon is using Atlas 5 rockets due to delays with its other launch vehicles, with plans to increase coverage and capacity through the new satellites.
