April 10, Fineko/abc.az. The launch of launch vehicle Atlas of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) with 27 Internet satellites Amazon Project Kuiper has been postponed indefinitely due to weather conditions near the Cape Canaveral Space Force Spaceport in Florida.

ABC.AZ informs that portal space.com reports on this on April 10.

The launch operators were concerned about dense cumulus clouds and rain within a radius of 16 km from the launch site.

Kuiper project is Amazon's response to SpaceX's Starlink satellite constellation, which is supposed to provide high-speed Internet access around the world. In the coming years, Amazon hopes to create a constellation of 3,200 broadband satellites to gain a foothold in the space internet market.
