Today’s approval will let the company send 3,236 satellites to Earth’s lower orbit via the first-ever flight of United Launch Alliance’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket – scheduled to commence its operations later this year.
More specifically, this is about the orbital debris mitigation plan – which the Kuiper Project has finally received approval for! This led the FCC to chain off Kuiper’s program to commence, finally. This will let the company launch about 3,236 satellites into earth’s lower orbit – similar to Starlink, and beam the internet signals down to earth.
Users need to have a receiver set up in their homes (or above any moving objects) to receive the internet connection constantly. This is seen as a game changer while in vehicles (like on flights), where a steady internet connection is still not reliable!
