Project Kuiper

Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network. Our mission is to provide fast, affordable connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Our network has the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Project Kuiper will serve organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

It’s not very often we get an opportunity to work on something like Project Kuiper. We have the chance to connect communities around the world and make a difference in countless lives. Our mission is bold and complex, but everyone at Kuiper is so inspired by that mission, and this is the team to do it.
