Rocket company United Launch Alliance LLC is moving forward with construction plans on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station property to support launches of thousands of Amazon.com Inc. satellites. Centennial, Colorado-based United Launch Alliance and the U.S. Space Force on Feb. 1 filed an application with the state of Florida for a permit for “Kuiper SPOC,” improvements to United Launch Alliance's existing Spaceflight Processing Operations Center as part of its partnership with Seattle-based Amazon’s “Project Kuiper.” United Launch Alliance will use its Vulcan Centaur rockets to perform 38 launches for Project Kuiper, Amazon’s 3,236-satellite constellation that will provide high-speed broadband access around the world.
