Amazon Leo

This is Countdown. Five @tellyawards, including Gold for Directing and Sound Design. The film that defined the look and feel of Amazon Leo. spr.ly/6017B8XPCx

.@AmazonLeo and @hero_telecoms just signed an agreement to bring fast, reliable satellite internet to areas of South Africa where existing broadband can’t reach. The service is called Evry, and it will be offered by Herotel and powered by Leo. Proud of the teams making this happen. This is what the work is all about.

We built Amazon Leo to bring fast, reliable internet to customers and communities beyond the reach of existing networks. @hero_telecoms has spent years doing exactly that across South Africa — reaching farming towns, small businesses, and communities on the outskirts. Proud to see our teams working together to bring connectivity to even more South Africans who need it, and look forward to rolling out service to those customers in the future.

We’re bringing Leo to South Africa through a collaboration with @hero_telecoms, helping deliver fast, reliable internet to millions of people and small businesses in rural, peri-urban and agricultural communities across the country. Read more: spr.ly/6014BEXM8n

Leo Atlas➡️ Leo Vulcan Eight Leo Atlas launches. 224 satellites delivered to orbit. Next up with ULA: The first of 38 missions on its all-new, heavy-lift Vulcan rocket, capable of carrying 40+ satellites at a time and launching at a faster rate from SLC-41. Mission updates: aboutamazon.com/news/innovatio…

LA-08 was also the last time Atlas V flew in its most powerful 551 configuration. The "551" is a naming code: 5 = five-meter payload fairing 5 = five solid rocket boosters strapped to the core 1 = single-engine Centaur upper stage And helped make our 29-satellite stack the heaviest payload in Atlas V history.

LA-08 was our final Atlas V mission with @ULAlaunch as we transition to its new, heavy-lift Vulcan rocket. Look back at the Leo Atlas era—from the inaugural launch that kicked off a full-scale deployment of Amazon Leo, to Leo Atlas 8, which brought our constellation to nearly 400 satellites in orbit.

29 more satellites deployed, adding to the 350+ already in orbit. Congrats to our @AmazonLeo teams and @ulalaunch.

Last few launches were big for @AmazonLeo - bringing us to 390+ satellites deployed, enough to support continuous service across initial latitudes. Still lots of work ahead – including raising all these new satellites to their assigned altitude – but we’ve completed enough launches for initial service this yr, and future missions just add coverage and capacity. Thanks @ulalaunch Atlas V for getting us to this point. Ready for 40+ sat launches on Vulcan. 🚀 🚀 🚀

Deployment confirmed. Atlas V has completed its final mission for Amazon Leo, and we've established contact with all 29 satellites in low Earth orbit. Next up with @ULAlaunch: The first of 38 Leo missions on its new Vulcan rocket, which will carry 40+ satellites per launch and support a higher cadence of Leo missions from SLC-41.

Tonight: Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08) Atlas V rolled to the pad with 29 Leo satellites – our final mission on Atlas V before transitioning to Vulcan with @ULAlaunch. Launch is set for Thurs, Jul 2 at 12:24 a.m. ET from SLC-41. Livestream here: spr.ly/6011BDFkvR

Next up: Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08) Our 29-satellite payload has been transferred to @ULAlaunch for integration with Atlas V, and launch is set for Thurs, Jul 2 at 12:24 a.m. ET – adding to the 350+ Leo satellites already in orbit as we prepare to roll out service to customers.

.@HitachiCME will use Amazon Leo to connect remote construction sites across the UK and Germany. Hitachi is the first construction machinery manufacturer to use Leo, and with a global network running on @AWS, will be able to use the service to move data directly from remote sites to existing cloud resources. spr.ly/6019BDgPAb

The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 551 rocket carrying the next batch of production satellites for Amazon Leo, Leo 8, is planned for Thursday, July 2, pending range approval. The 29-minute launch window opens at 12:24 a.m. EDT.

Look back at Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) with @Arianespace. ✅ Largest Leo payload yet, with 36 satellites on board ✅ Heaviest commercial payload ever launched at 22 metric tons ✅ 350+ satellites now in orbit for Amazon Leo Up next: Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08) with @ulalaunch, NET July 2.

Awesome shot from today’s launch. Another 36 satellites successfully in orbit, and heaviest commercial payload ever. Congrats, @Amazonleo and @Arianespace 🛰️

🚀 SUCCESS. 36 Amazon Leo satellites deployed. 🔥 First flight with P160C boosters. 📦 Heaviest payload ever launched by an Ariane launcher. 📈 The biggest Amazon Leo stack ever launched to date With VA269, Ariane 6 has now launched 100 Amazon Leo satellites in just five months. A new milestone for Ariane 6 and for Amazon's low Earth orbit constellation.

European innovation, European engineering, European ambition. Three @Amazonleo missions in four months on Ariane 6, and today was our biggest payload yet with 36 satellites on board. Thanks @Arianespace for another great launch, and for having me on the broadcast to talk about the partnership and what’s ahead for Leo as we get ready to serve customers this year!

LE-03 deployment confirmed. Today's mission with @Arianespace sent another 36 Leo satellites into space–the heaviest commercial payload ever launched–and all spacecraft are in contact and operating nominally on orbit. Three Ariane 6 missions completed in less than five months, bringing our total constellation to 350+ satellites. Mission updates: spr.ly/6010BDMEUu
