    Hopefully Ariane manages to increase the cadence, but 9 launches per year would be a good milestone to hit first!

    So far this year they’ve launched 3x for Amazon, but the Wikipedia manifest only lists 3 more launches this year (Euemtsat x2 + ESA x1). I’m sure Amazon is begging for more launches right now.

    What does Amazon need satellites for? Do they make their own starlink now?

          You’re right, I mixed them up.
