Second mission. Same ambition. The @Amazonleo satellites for our next mission, VA268, have now arrived at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, marking a new step in the deployment of the Amazon Leo constellation. In the coming weeks, Arianespace will begin the launch campaign, from satellite processing to integration on Ariane 6, preparing these payloads for their journey to low Earth orbit. The VA268 mission, designated LE-02 by Amazon, will fly on Ariane 6 in its four-booster configuration, a powerful setup particularly adapted to support the sustained deployment of large constellations. This mission is the second of 18 launches planned under our contract with Amazon, reflecting a long-term partnership built on performance, reliability and shared ambition to expand global connectivity from space. More updates soon from Kourou. #LaunchingAmbitions @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

@Arianespace @Amazonleo Seeing the Ariane 6 in its four-booster configuration is going to be a sight to behold! Huge milestone for both Arianespace and Amazon. Can’t wait to see those @Amazonleo satellites head up. Godspeed to the teams in Kourou!

@Arianespace @Amazonleo Germany debates funding while Kourou moves satellites. This cadence demands stable policy, something our domestic sector lacks. Strategic hubs provide that.

@Arianespace @Amazonleo without booster recovery-reuse, Arianespace cannot hope to compete on a level field with SpaceX's lower launch prices. Only by massive state-level subsidy to Ariane does this work for a customer.
