> TAMPA, Fla. — Amazon has signed a contract with SpaceX to launch an unspecified number of satellites for its Project Kuiper broadband constellation on three Falcon 9 rockets from mid-2025.
> It comes months after a pension fund filed a suit against Amazon’s board of directors, claiming they “acted in bad faith” in approving the bulk of Kuiper launches to unproven rockets being developed by these three companies without considering SpaceX.
> An Amazon spokesperson said the “claims in the lawsuit are completely without merit and had no impact on our procurement plans for Project Kuiper.”
> The company declined to disclose more information about the SpaceX launch contract beyond a brief blog post published Dec. 1.
