Amazon Leo

Launch update: @ulalaunch is now targeting Sunday, March 29 at 3:53 a.m. EDT for our Leo Atlas V (LA-05) mission. At the Cape, ULA technicians have stacked the Centaur upper stage atop Atlas V as rocket preparation continues. Teams are moving through system testing ahead of integration with our payload.

Our next launch campaign with @Arianespace is underway. 32 Amazon Leo satellites for Leo Europe 2 (LE-02) have arrived in French Guiana, where teams will begin preparing them for launch on Ariane 64. Built in Kirkland and launching from Kourou, they’ll fly to low Earth orbit on our second heavy-lift mission of 2026, helping extend fast, reliable internet to those beyond the reach of existing networks.

The fifth launch of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 551 rocket carrying the next batch of production satellites for Amazon Leo, Leo 5, is planned for March 30, 2026, pending range approval. bit.ly/av_leo5

Look back on Leo Europe 1. LE-01 marked our first mission with @Arianespace and the debut flight of Ariane 64 — delivering 32 Leo satellites in a single mission – and included a pre-launch campaign that spanned three continents. 200+ Leo satellites now in orbit, with many more launches to come.

Vodafone will use high-speed satellite backhaul from Amazon Leo to connect remote 4G and 5G mobile sites across Europe and Africa, helping expand coverage, strengthen its network, and deliver more reliable connectivity for customers across both continents.

Connectivity has always been a challenge in remote locations. In rural Africa, @vanuinc and Amazon Leo are working to change this. Learn why Vanu chose Amazon Leo to build a new mobile connectivity solution for customers and communities in the region, and how the two companies are working together to improve access to technology and resources in off-grid locations.

We’re expanding our agreement with @DIRECTVLA and @skybrasil in South America, helping extend fast, reliable connectivity to roughly 15 million businesses across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay. Read more: spr.ly/6017ho7zF

Mission VA267: Best of the launch campaign On February 12th, 2026, Arianespace, with Ariane 6, successfully launched 32 @Amazonleo satellites into Low Earth Orbit. From the arrival of the satellites in French Guiana to liftoff from Europe’s Spaceport, mission VA267 was the result of months of preparation and coordination. This recap video takes you through the full journey: - Arrival of the 32 @Amazonleo satellites in French Guiana - Preparation of the @Amazonleo satellites in Kourou - Integration, encapsulation and launch operations - Liftoff of Ariane 6 carrying 32 @Amazonleo satellites into Low Earth Orbit - Successful separations in orbit ✨ Mission VA267 marked the first Arianespace launch supporting the deployment of Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit constellation, whose mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. This mission also initiated the first of 18 Ariane 6 launches contracted by @Amazonleo, laying the foundations for a long-term partnership supporting the rollout of a global connectivity infrastructure. 👉 Watch the full mission highlights below ⬇️ #LaunchingAmbitions @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

From the launch pad to low Earth orbit—look back at Leo Europe 1. Our first launch with @Arianespace carried Amazon Leo’s largest payload to date, adding coverage and capacity as we work to extend fast, reliable internet to those beyond the reach of existing networks.

Congratulations to the team!

Amazon, your package has been delivered. Ariane 6 has lifted off for the first time with four boosters, making it our most powerful European launcher! On board: 32 satellites for Amazon’s constellation. Amazon chose Europe for this major launch. A French feat, a European success: we’re reaching new heights. Congratulations to the teams.

Congrats to the @Amazonleo and @Arianespace  teams! 🚀 LE-01 successfully deployed 32 satellites on our first Ariane 6 mission. Our biggest payload yet, and just the start of our 2026 heavy lift campaigns. So proud.

A successful @Amazonleo deployment. 🚀 Today’s mission with @Arianespace out of French Guiana brings our constellation to over 200 satellites—another important step toward bringing fast, reliable internet to customers worldwide.

200+ satellites in low Earth orbit. All 32 Leo satellites are operating nominally in space, marking a successful start to our LE-01 mission—our first heavy-lift launch to date, and the first of 18 missions with @Arianespace. Another thank you to the entire Arianespace team, and to all of our European partners for supporting our long-term mission for Amazon Leo. Read more: spr.ly/6015hr5ud

Deployment confirmed: All 32 Leo satellites have been released from the dispenser system, and Leo flight control teams have taken over spacecraft operations in low Earth orbit. Thanks to @Arianespace for a successful first launch on Ariane 64!

Liftoff of Leo Europe 1

Pumped for today's mission with @Amazonleo and @Arianespace. Good luck to the teams as they get ready for liftoff in French Guiana. You can watch here: youtube.com/live/lUr3ygqFk…

The mobile gantry has rolled back and launch day for Leo Europe 1 — our first heavy-lift mission — is here. This is the first of 18 missions on Ariane 64 and our largest payload to date with 32 satellites onboard. @Arianespace livestream begins at L-45 minutes: spr.ly/6014hRooq

📸 Behind the scenes in French Guiana ahead of our inaugural launch with @Arianespace. Our encapsulated payload is stacked atop Ariane 64, and a successful Launch Readiness Review (LRR) means LE-01 remains on track for liftoff tomorrow, Feb. 12. More on Leo Europe 1: spr.ly/6012hurCG
