Ariane 6 successfully launches another 32 Amazon Leo satellites
On 30 April 2026, Arianespace successfully placed into orbit a second batch of 32 satellites for the Amazon Leo constellation with Ariane 6 in its most powerful configuration to date, equipped with four boosters.
On 30 April 2026, at 5:57 AM local time, Arianespace successfully launched 32 Amazon Leo satellites aboard Ariane 64 — Ariane 6's four-booster version — from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
The satellites were delivered with precision into low Earth orbit (LEO), at an altitude of approximately 465 km. The mission was completed as planned, lasting a total of 1 hour and 54 minutes from lift-off to the separation of the last satellites.
Designated VA268 by Arianespace and LE-02 by Amazon Leo, this mission was the second of 18 Ariane 6 launches planned for the deployment of the Amazon Leo constellation.
