Amazon.com Inc. says it will launch the first batch of satellites to power its internet-from-space initiative as soon as April 9.
The company’s Project Kuiper aims to put more than 3,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, delivering internet connectivity to companies, governments and consumers, a business that today is dominated by SpaceX’s Starlink.
