Amazon has manufactured its 1,000th satellite for its Leo constellation and is weeks away from launching commercial space broadband internet, challenging SpaceX's Starlink dominance. Led by former Starlink head Rajeev Badyal, the project will debut aboard a Vulcan rocket and targets enterprises like airlines, shipping companies, and governments.
