In a twist that might feel a bit ironic, SpaceX is now selling its Starlink satellite internet hardware on Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)'s platform—the same company that's building a competing satellite network.

Starlink Hardware Lands on Amazon

Tech influencer Sawyer Merritt spotted the news first on social media platform X, sharing screenshots of various Starlink products now available through Amazon. The selection includes Starlink's Mini Router, a Standard Wall Mount Kit, replacement cables, 3rd generation WiFi Routers, a Pipe adapter, and a Pivot Mount kit. It's essentially everything you need to get connected via satellite, delivered to your door by Amazon Prime.

Amazon's Satellite Push Gets a New Name

The timing is particularly interesting because Amazon just rebranded its Starlink competitor from Project Kuiper to Amazon LEO. The company is rolling out a preview program to test its hardware, software, and network services before a broader launch next year. Amazon now has 150 low Earth orbit satellites operational.

Amazon also unveiled the Amazon LEO Ultra terminal, featuring a phased array antenna capable of delivering up to 1 Gbps download speeds and 400 Mbps upload speeds. According to Amazon, that makes it the fastest antenna of its type on the market.

Starlink Expands Reach While Musk Eyes Space AI

Meanwhile, Starlink has been busy expanding its footprint. The company recently struck a deal with Ukrainian telecom giant Kyivstar Group Ltd. (KYIV) to bring direct-to-cell technology to Kyivstar's customers. The companies said they'd been testing the technology for over a year before making it official.

And in classic Elon Musk fashion, the SpaceX CEO recently floated the concept of orbital AI datacenters. His argument? They'd be dramatically more cost-effective than ground-based facilities. "Cost effectiveness of AI in space will be overwhelmingly better than AI on the ground," Musk said.
