The satellites will be launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance rockets.
Amazon wants to deploy a constellation of satellites that the company says will provide reliable internet service to underserved communities around the world.
The company said production of satellites will begin at a facility in Washington state later this year. They will then be shipped to the new 100,000-square-foot facility in Florida and integrated with launch vehicles. Amazon noted that this is a $120 million investment that will create jobs on the Space Coast.
Users on the ground will need an outdoor antenna, also known as a customer terminal. The antenna communicates with the overhead satellites to provide internet connectivity.
