Amazon lanzó este viernes sus dos primeros prototipos de satélite durante una misión de prueba clave para el desarrollo de su futura constelación, denominada “proyecto Kuiper”, que busca proporcionar Internet desde el espacio y competir con SpaceX, de Elon Musk.

El cohete Atlas V despegó de Cabo Cañaveral en Florida a las 14H06 locales y fue llevado a cabo por el grupo industrial United Launch Alliance (ULA).

“Es la primera vez que Amazon coloca satélites en el espacio”, dijo en un comunicado Rajeev Badyal, vicepresidente de tecnología del Proyecto Kuiper.
