WASHINGTON, June 17, 2025 – United Launch Alliance (ULA) decided to delay the launch of the second round of Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites into space due to an issue with the boost engine.

On Monday, [ULA announced the launch postponement](https://www.ulalaunch.com/missions/next-launch/atlas-v-kuiper-2?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) at 12:51 pm ET, citing an “engineering observation of an elevated purge temperature within the booster engine.” ULA has yet to establish a new launch date, a choice highly contingent on the team’s ongoing technological evaluation.

Project Kuiper is [Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network](https://www.amazon.jobs/content/en/teams/devices-services/project-kuiper?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com), designed to provide fast, affordable, and reliable internet to people around the world, including residents of unserved and underserved communities.

Planning to deploy a constellation of more than 3,200 LEO satellites, with 27 already launched, Amazon hopes to service a wide range of customers, from individual homes to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government organizations. 

When it occurs, liftoff will take place at Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. 

While Project Kuiper has the potential to transform satellite broadband, Amazon’s ambitions do not at this time pose a threat to SpaceX’s Starlink, which currently dominates the satellite internet industry.
