Jeff Bezos' space firm is looking to take on Elon Musk and SpaceX's Starlink offering with its 3,200-internet satellite mega-constellation.

official statement

When fully operational, ULA's Vulcan Centaur will be capable of lifting up to 27.2 metric tons to low Earth orbit. It was designed to replace ULA's Atlas IV and Delta V rockets, but its debut flight has been delayed for four years due in part to the delayed delivery of BE-4 engines built by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' space company, Blue Origin.

The company's two prototypes, Kuipersat-1 and Kuipersat-2, will help it validate its technology ahead of a series of launches that will lift the entire Kuiper constellation into orbit.
