Amazon's Leo Space Internet Service: A Starlink Competitor with a Unique Approach

Amazon's space-based internet service Leo is set to launch commercially in mid-2026, offering a Starlink competitor with a unique approach to satellite deployment.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has announced that the company's highly anticipated space-internet service, Leo (formerly known as Project Kuiper), will launch in mid-2026. This marks a shift from the original timeline, which had the service debuting at the end of 2025 in an enterprise preview.

Unlike SpaceX's Starlink service, Amazon does not (yet) have its own fleet of rockets to regularly send Leo satellites into low-Earth orbit. Instead, the company has been hitching rides with a variety of launch partners, including SpaceX, until Jeff Bezos's own reusable New Glenn rocket is fully operational.
