Project Kuiper satellites are designed to connect to remote terminals on Earth, providing internet access in locations that otherwise lack connectivity.

Such space internet has been the goal of several firms in recent years, most notably SpaceX in the US and Eutelsat’s OneWeb in the UK. The former has already launched about 5000 satellites and boasts some 2 million users, while OneWeb has nearly 650 satellites in orbit. Amazon is playing catch-up, says Farrar. “They are four or five years behind SpaceX at least,” he says.
