In 2020, the US Federal Communications Commission, which regulates telecommunications in the United States, approved Amazon's plan to launch more than 3,000 satellites into Earth orbit. The project is called Kuiper and aims to provide high-speed internet to the entire world.

According to the company, the plan is to have half of the satellites in space by 2026, while all of them would be in orbit by 2029. By the time of the project's approval, however, Amazon was still to reveal who would be its commercial partner to launch the rockets.

If by December 31, 2023, Amazon does manage to successfully launch the first Kuiper satellite to orbit the Earth, this market will resolve to "yes".
