Amazon to launch two internet satellites, awaiting US approval

<p>In a bid to operate a space-based satellite network, Amazon Inc has asked the US Federal Communications Commission for approval to launch two satellites into orbit. Amazon has pledged to invest $10B in building 3,236 such satellites, under its Project Kuiper Program, and will look to launch two by the end of 2022. In 2020, the FCC approved Project Kuiper for low-earth-orbit satellites to compete with Starlink by SpaceX.<br /> &nbsp;</p>
