The lawsuit claims that the company did not consider SpaceX because of the ongoing rivalry between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

that it must launch half of Project Kuiper by 2026, with the entire 3,236-satellite constellation launched to low Earth orbit by 2029. The company has not yet launched any of its satellites.

The lawsuit claims that the board of directors met in March 2022 to discuss the three launch contracts, and allegedly approved the contracts in 40 minutes based on little information and without seeking any kind of expert review.“The claims in this lawsuit are completely without merit, and we look forward to showing that through the legal process,” an Amazon spokesperson told Gizmodo in an email.

The lawsuit accuses Amazon’s board of directors of hastily approving Project Kuiper’s launch providers while ignoring the conflict of interest with Bezos’ private space company.
