A Falcon 9 rocket topped with 28 of the company's Starlink internet satellites launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida Tuesday (May 13) at 1:02 a.m. EDT (0502 GMT).

SpaceX early Tuesday launched another batch of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Florida's east coast.

In contrast, after last week's launch, Amazon now has just 27 operational Kuipersats. Weighing perhaps 1,260 pounds each versus 1,760 pounds for SpaceX's more robust V2 Minis, Amazon's satellites are presumably less capable than SpaceX's. But are they good enough to compete with Starlink?
