CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – United Launch Alliance plans to launch its largest payload yet into space Saturday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The mission, known as Vulcan Leo 1, is scheduled to carry 40 Amazon satellites into low-Earth orbit.

The satellites are designed to help deliver high-speed internet to homes, businesses and remote communities around the world, in a network similar to SpaceX’s Starlink constellation.

Liftoff is scheduled for 12:32 p.m. Saturday from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. United Launch Alliance said the rocket and spacecraft are in good condition.
