Our next mission is set for Wednesday, July 16. Named KF-01 for our first launch on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the mission will send another 24 Kuiper satellites into low Earth orbit. Follow along for the latest on Kuiper missions: spr.ly/601344aD5
📹: The view from a Kuiper satellite launched on last week’s KF-02 mission with @SpaceX.
This imagery was captured over a 24-minute period — enough time for the satellite to travel 5,500+ miles in orbit, from over Italy to the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar.
Take a look at this @ulalaunch clip of the first Kuiper satellites being released into low Earth orbit approximately 280 miles above the planet. Deployment takes place over a 15-minute period after launch, with satellites released three at a time from the dispenser system.
📷: The view from space, minutes after all satellites from our KF-01 mission were released from the dispenser system.
For Kuiper missions on Falcon 9, satellites are released every 20 seconds over an 8-minute period, and all 24 satellites are power positive and operating
Another 24 Kuiper satellites left our payload processing facility on Monday, and our KF-02 mission with @SpaceX is on track to launch tomorrow, Aug. 7.

Our next mission is set for Wednesday, Oct. 8. Named KF-03 for our third launch on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the mission will send another 24 Kuiper satellites into low Earth orbit.
