This financial activity follows a record-breaking mission on August 27 that deployed Amazon internet satellites and the MTG-I2 weather satellite using an Ariane 6 rocket. Amazon continues to expand its Project Kuiper constellation through a combination of Ariane 6 and Atlas V launches, supported by an internal program that trains hourly employees as satellite technicians.Why it mattersThe expansion of the Project Kuiper constellation competes with the high launch cadence maintained by SpaceX.
