Project Kuiper is one of the most ambitious space programs in history. It would see the launch of 3,326 low Earth orbit satellites that will bring broadband coverage to the world. “The Kuiper System will deliver satellite broadband communications services to tens of millions of unserved and underserved consumers and businesses in the United States and around the globe,” the permission filing reads.
