Amazon builds 1,000th satellite, will launch space internet service by end of year

Amazon has successfully built its 1,000th broadband satellite, signaling that its space internet service is only weeks away from launch. To achieve this, the company increased production to 27 satellites per week. Currently, 396 satellites are in orbit. Although a previous shortfall caused a loss of spectrum priority in July, the FCC may restore it if Amazon demonstrates progress. The company acknowledges the difficulty of the project, noting that such tasks are not easy.
