United Launch Alliance (ULA) is targeting June 13 to launch the second batch of satellites for Amazon’s Project Kuiper constellation. 

This would mark a less than two-month turnaround time from the first full-scale mission on April 28, a sign that Kuiper is ramping up to deploy the constellation. 

ULA announced Thursday that the launch window is set for June 12 at 2:29 p..m EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, pending range approval. Project Kuiper issued a statement that it has finished processing and integrating all 27 satellites for the mission, which will launch on an Atlas V rocket. 

Project Kuiper is Amazon’s planned satellite broadband constellation in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) designed to provide internet areas with little to no broadband access. The full constellation is planned to have 3,232-satellites, and Amazon has more than 80 launches booked to deploy the constellation with ULA, Arianespace, Blue Origin, and SpaceX. 

Shortly after the April mission launched, Amazon reported that all systems and subsystems onboard the satellites were operating nominally.
