Amazon to build $120M satellite facility at Florida's Kennedy Space Center

Amazon’s Project Kuiper is building a $120 million satellite processing facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, creating 50 new jobs in the area.

The 100,000-square-foot facility will include a 100-foot-tall bay clean room for payload fairing of new heavy-lift rockets like Blue Origin’s New Glenn and United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur.

"We have an ambitious plan to begin Project Kuiper’s full-scale production launches and early customer pilots next year, and this new facility will play a critical role in helping us deliver on that timeline," said Steve Metayer, vice president of Kuiper Production Operations.
