According to the Securities Times app, Amazon (AMZN.US) announced on Thursday that its low-earth orbit satellite internet project, Leo, has deployed enough satellites in orbit and plans to launch "initial services" later this year. Around 12:30 am Eastern Time on Thursday, a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket launched 29 satellites into orbit. With this launch, the total number of satellites in Amazon's Leo constellation in orbit has exceeded 390. Chris Weber, vice president of Leo business and products, wrote on the X platform that this number "is sufficient to support continuous service within the initial latitude range."
