Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

The team has to overcome many technological and design obstacles as they ramp up production. “At peak, we’ll be building up to four satellites per day to meet our ultimate goal of completing the Kuiper network,” Palcisco said, noting that some facilities can only build that many satellites in a year.

That journey begins with the people working on Project Kuiper, which attracted professionals from diverse backgrounds. who have a lot of space experience, but we've also got folks who come from industries like aerospace and automotive, where mass production is really a core competency,”Palcisco said.

Aerospace in general is a very well understood industry that's been developed over many years, Palcisco said. creating processes that haven't been done before, we iterate on those processes, and we decide what's the best for the satellite as that vehicle gets built and launched into space.
