# Amazon Plans 40-Satellite Deployment on Its First Vulcan Launch By Simon Yoon Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/53327 Published: 2026-11-10T21:07:06.000Z Updated: 2026-11-10T21:07:06.000Z Section: Technology > The Friday, Nov. 13 flight would begin a 38-mission partnership with United Launch Alliance. Amazon plans to launch 40 Amazon Leo satellites aboard United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket on Friday, Nov. 13, setting a date for its satellite-internet venture’s first flight on the vehicle. The mission would also open a 38-mission partnership between Amazon and United Launch Alliance. Vulcan is expected to play a central role in Amazon’s satellite-internet effort. Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is the company’s broadband satellite network, which is authorized for a first-generation constellation of 3,232 satellites. Amazon plans to begin rolling out service to customers in 2026. The planned deployment differs from the company’s [1,000th Leo satellite milestone](), which counted spacecraft completed at a Kirkland, Washington, factory. That count did not reflect how many satellites Amazon had launched or had operating in orbit. The Nov. 13 mission would carry 40 spacecraft, marking a launch milestone rather than a manufacturing one. ## Links in this article - [1,000th Leo satellite milestone](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/28368)
