Amazon Leo

One year ago, @Amazonleo launched its first satellites. Since then: 🛰️ 11 missions 🚀 300+ satellites in orbit 🌍 Even faster cadence ahead We're not slowing down as we prepare to deliver internet to customers around the world. Watch our latest liftoff. ⬇️

Two launches. Two continents. One mission. Leo Atlas 6 (LA-06) and Leo Europe 2 (LE-02) launched just over 48 hours apart, delivering 61 Leo satellites to orbit and growing our constellation to 300+ satellites. Leo is next on the manifest for both @ULAlaunch and @Arianespace as we prepare to accelerate deployment rates in year two. Learn more: aboutamazon.com/news/innovatio…

2nd launch this week. Congrats to @Amazonleo and @Arianespace on a successful mission this morning. Pumped about this momentum.

11 launches. 300+ satellites deployed. Thank you to @Arianespace, @SpaceX and @ULAlaunch for supporting our first full year of missions for Amazon Leo. With hundreds of flight-ready satellites on deck for launch and new heavy-lift rockets coming online, we're ready to more than double our deployment rate in year two as we prepare to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers around the world.

Deployment confirmed. All 32 Leo satellites have been released from the dispenser system, and our flight control teams have taken over spacecraft operations in low Earth orbit. Thanks to @Arianespace for a second successful launch aboard Ariane 6. aboutamazon.com/news/innovatio…

Relive the liftoff of VA268. 🚀 Ariane 6 has successfully lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, marking a new milestone for Europe’s heavy-lift launcher. On board, 32 Amazon Leo satellites are now on their way to low Earth orbit, continuing the deployment of the constellation. From ignition to ascent, this moment captures the intensity, precision and power of liftoff, the result of months of preparation and coordination. A launch to experience again. ✨ #LaunchingAmbitions #Ariane6 #VA268 @Amazonleo @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

The mobile gantry has rolled back, and Ariane 6 stands tall on the pad ahead Leo Europe 2 (LE-02). Launch is set for 8:15 am UTC on Thursday, April 30. As our second mission with @Arianespace and third launch this month, LE-02 will deploy 32 more Amazon Leo satellites using the more powerful four booster variant of Ariane 6.

Mission VA268: All systems are ready for launch. Arianespace has successfully completed the Launch Readiness Review (LRR) for mission VA268. This final milestone confirms that the launcher, the payload, and all ground systems are ready. Ariane 64 is now cleared for launch from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. Scheduled for April 30, 2026, the mission will place 32 @Amazonleo satellites into low Earth orbit, marking the second Ariane 6 launch dedicated to the deployment of the constellation. After months of preparation, the final countdown can begin. #LaunchingAmbitions #Ariane6 #VA268 @Amazonleo @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

Thanks @ULALaunch for having me on the LA-06 livestream last night! Always fun to see a launch in person, but also great to be in the mix with our amazing Leo mission control team in Redmond, and enjoyed sharing more about how these launches are bringing us closer to delivering service for our customers.

Look back at Leo Atlas 6 (LA-06). Atlas V will be back on the pad on May 22 for Leo Atlas 7 (LA-07), but first up, another launch this week: Leo Europe 2 (LE-02), our second mission on Ariane 6, set for Thursday, April 30, at 4:08am ET | 8:08am UTC.

This never gets old. Congrats @Amazonleo and @ulalaunch!

Congratulations to our @Amazonleo team and our @ulalaunch partners on another successful 🚀 launch 👏

Successful deployment for Leo Atlas 6 (LA-06). Atlas V has delivered 29 Leo satellites to low Earth orbit, adding more coverage and capacity to the network and bringing Leo one step closer to connecting customers around the world. LA-06 marks the second of four back-to-back Leo missions on Atlas V, with the next mission (LA-07) already set for May 22. More updates here: spr.ly/6013BBzAVD

📷 Behind the scenes prep for this week’s Leo launch double-header: First up: Leo Atlas 6 (LA-06) with @ulalaunch, carrying 29 Leo satellites into space. Atlas V is on the pad and set to lift off from Cape Canaveral, FL tonight at 8:52 p.m. ET. Next: Leo Europe 2 (LE-02) with @Arianespace, with 32 Leo satellites on board. Encapsulation is complete, and payload is mated atop Ariane 6 ahead of launch from French Guiana on Thursday, April 30, at 4:08 a.m. ET | 8:08 a.m. UTC. Together, the two missions will send another 61 satellites into orbit, bringing the number of Leo satellites deployed to over 300. Follow along: spr.ly/6019BBzetD

Atlas V rolled from the VIF to the pad at SLC-41 with another 29-satellite Leo payload, exactly 23 days after our last mission with @ULAlaunch. Leo Atlas 6 (LA-06) is scheduled to liftoff tonight, Apr 27, at 8:52 p.m. ET. ULA is using a streamlined roll-to-launch flow for this mission, with rollout, testing, fueling, and liftoff all within a single countdown. The process helps enable a faster turnaround between missions, allowing for a higher launch cadence as we prepare to transition from Atlas V to Vulcan. We’re now on the second of four back-to-back Leo launches on Atlas V, building steady momentum as we expand our constellation.

ULA's Roll & Preps Crew moved the Atlas V 551 rocket to Space Launch Complex-41 this morning to deliver Amazon's next 29 broadband satellites into space later tonight. Liftoff time is 8:52 p.m. EDT (0052 UTC). ULA is proceeding with a continuous roll-and-launch in a single-day countdown, part of our efforts to increase launch cadence for our @AmazonLeo customer. This effort reduces the amount of time the rocket spends at the pad, enabling launch to occur sooner. bit.ly/av_leo6

The U.S. Space Force weather squadron at Cape Canaveral predicts a 75 percent chance of acceptable weather for the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket launch of the @AmazonLeo mission on Monday at 8:52 p.m. EDT (0052 UTC). Full details: bit.ly/av_leo6

What does it take to bring world-class connectivity to billions of people who've never had reliable access? Amazon Leo VP of Business @weber44chris and AWS Executive in Residence @tomassoderstrom have some thoughts. 🛰️ spr.ly/6014BB885C
