Amazon is investing another $19.5 million to build a storage and processing site at Kennedy Space Center for "Project Kuiper," an internet satellite constellation not unlike SpaceX's Starlink.

United Launch Alliance launched its first mission for Amazon’s satellite internet network Friday afternoon.

The United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket is set to launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Amazon has selected NASA's Kennedy Space Center for construction of a $120 million processing facility for its upcoming network of space-based internet satellites known as Kuiper.

Amazon announced that it had reached agreements for up to 83 launches on rockets from three commercial space companies to sent thousands of Project Kuiper satellites into orbit.

The company received government approval to put more than 3,200 satellites into orbit with the goal of beaming internet service to earth. Amazon said the satellites could provide internet to parts of the world that don't have it. It could also become a new business for Amazon, selling internet service to people or companies. Amazon said it will spend $10 billion on the initiative, called Project Kuiper. Other companies have already put satellites into orbit, including SpaceX, the rocket company owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
