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, bringing us to 375+ spacecraft in orbit. Next up with United Launch Alliance (ULA): The first of 38 Leo missions on its new Vulcan rocket, which will carry 40+ satellites to orbit, and support a higher cadence of Leo missions from Space Launch Complex-41 as we prepare to roll out service to customers.

Hitachi Construction Machinery will use Amazon Leo to connect remote construction sites across the UK and Germany. Hitachi is the first construction machinery manufacturer to use Amazon Leo, and with a global network running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), will be able to use the service to move data directly from remote sites to existing cloud resources.

Largest Amazon Leo mission to date, and the heaviest commercial payload ever launched...on Ariane 6, or any other rocket. Our first missions with Arianespace broke the record earlier this year with 32 satellites on board. We broke it again with today’s LE-03 mission, with upgraded P160C boosters allowing us to increase the payload to 36 satellites. And spoiler alert: It won’t be long before we break it again. Congrats to the Leo team on another successful mission, and special thanks to David Cavaillolès and the entire ARIANESPACE team for continuing to raise the bar with us. Three missions with Ariane in four months, 100 satellites in total, and another record to boot. One step closer to rolling out service for customers, and lots of reasons to be optimistic about what’s ahead. Go Leo! Go Arianespace! Go LE-03!

Every launch for Amazon Leo moves us closer to delivering fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world. ARIANESPACE just launched 36 Amazon Leo satellites aboard Ariane 6 from Europe's Spaceport, our largest mission together yet, and I had a chance to join the launch broadcast to talk about what this partnership means and what’s ahead for Amazon Leo as we get ready to serve customers this year. Three missions with Arianespace in four months, and we're just getting started.

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: https://spr.ly/6041BDMEdL

United Launch Alliance (ULA) is targeting Friday, July 3 at 12:03 a.m. ET for the launch of Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08) from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, sending another 29 Amazon Leo satellites to low Earth orbit. LA-08 is on track to be our 14th mission overall. Every mission adds coverage and capacity to the Leo network as we work to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers around the world. This marks Amazon Leo's eighth and final launch on Atlas V as we transition to ULA's next-generation Vulcan rocket for future missions. Follow mission updates here: https://spr.ly/6041B87XzU

📸 Behind the scenes as 36 Leo satellites are encapsulated inside Ariane 6's 20-meter long fairing ahead of Leo Europe 3 (LE-03). Every additional satellite adds capacity and coverage to our network and moves us one step closer to delivering service to customers, and LE-03 will be our largest ARIANESPACE payload to date—made possible by new P160C solid rocket boosters that increase performance and allow us to deploy four additional satellites per launch. LE-03 launch window opens Wednesday, June 17 at 11:53 a.m. UTC. Read more: https://spr.ly/6048B8NR7r
