Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude. 45 satellites will be carried on each Vulcan launch.
Target orbit: Low Earth Orbit
Possible visibility from Bermuda, conditions permitting.
Face west (258.8655534766949°) and sweep along the trajectory. Start scanning the sky about six minutes after liftoff.
Sweep order (approximate)
You are standing at the amber dot in the middle. The solid cyan arrow is where to aim your eyes — roughly where the rocket will appear highest in the sky.
Lighting note
At night, look for the faint glow of the exhaust plume rather than the rocket itself. Let your eyes adjust for several minutes before liftoff, and avoid looking at phone screens.

Possible visibilityAST SpaceMobile’s Block 2 BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird Block 1 satellites, required to achieve 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service coverage in the United States, with beams designed to support a capacity of up to 40 MHz, enabling peak data transmission speeds up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data and video applications. The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched. This launch will feature 3 satellites.
