.@ULAlaunch 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.
Every mission adds coverage and capacity to the Leo network, and LA-08 — our fourth Atlas V in three months — is on track to be our 14th overall launch as we work to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers around the world.

📸 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.

Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) is targeting Jun 17 at 7:53 a.m. ET/11:53 a.m. UTC for liftoff from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. This is our third Ariane 6 mission and our largest Ariane 6 payload to date, with 36 satellites launching using upgraded P160C solid rocket boosters.
With more than 300 satellites already deployed, LE-03 will mark 100 launched with @Arianespace as we continue scaling deployment ahead of an initial service rollout later this year.

Upgraded P160C solid rocket boosters have arrived at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana for integration with Ariane 6 ahead of Leo Europe 3 (LE-03). Debuting on our next mission with @Arianespace, these boosters will carry the largest Amazon Leo mission with Ariane to date. Updates coming soon.

Behind the scenes as prep continues for Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01), the first of 38 Vulcan missions on contract with @ULAlaunch.
Teams have completed integration of the first LEO-optimized Centaur upper stage with Vulcan inside Amazon's dedicated Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A), allowing ULA to begin the next phase of testing ahead of upcoming Leo Vulcan launches from SLC-41.

Look back at Leo Atlas 7 (LA-07).
With 300 satellites on orbit, we're continuing to grow our constellation ahead of an initial service rollout this year.
Leo will be back on the pad soon for LA-08, our final launch on Atlas V before transitioning to @ULALaunch's new heavy-lift Vulcan rocket.

United Launch Alliance has initiated the countdown for today's launch of the Atlas V rocket to deploy 29 advanced broadband satellites into space for Amazon Leo. Our launch opportunity opens at 7:33:30 p.m. EDT (2333:30 UTC) for liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The launch countdown is a tightly scripted sequence of procedures and steps over the next seven hours that will complete pre-launch testing, fill the rocket with propellants and put systems into flight mode.
Our live status blog begins at 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 UTC) prior to the start of fueling operations and the livestream starts 20 minutes before launch.

Up next for @BlueOrigin: Leo New Glenn 1 (LN-01).
LN-01 is the first of 24 Leo launches on Blue Origin’s new reusable, heavy-lift rocket, and will be our largest payload yet with 48 Leo satellites on board.
Our four-tier stack is fully encapsulated in New Glenn’s 7-meter fairing and ready for transport to Blue Origin integration facilities at LC-36. More soon.

Strong partnerships and shared engineering experience continue advancing Amazon Leo and @Arianespace missions aboard Ariane 6 as we work to expand fast, reliable broadband connectivity around the world, with even larger payloads ahead.

Launching Ambitions.
Space is not defined by a single mission.
It is shaped by a diversity of ambitions, to connect, to navigate, to observe and to protect.
Each mission comes with its own objectives, its own constraints, its own destination.
With Ariane 6, Arianespace is designed to meet this diversity with flexibility and performance.
From deploying constellations like Amazon Leo in low Earth orbit, enabling navigation with Galileo, observing our planet with Sentinel-1D, to supporting defense missions like CSO-3.
Ariane 6 adapts to a wide range of missions, customers and orbital requirements.
Because access to space is not one-size-fits-all.
It is about enabling every mission, every ambition.

A more powerful Ariane 64. Our largest Ariane payload yet.
The next batch of Amazon Leo satellites arrived in French Guiana ahead of launch on Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) with @Arianespace.
LE-03 will be our first mission aboard Ariane 64 with upgraded P160C boosters, enabling increased payload capacity as we continue scaling deployment of our constellation.

A new chapter begins. The first Vulcan booster is vertical in the new Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A) dedicated to @Amazonleo. This milestone enables testing of first use technologies and validates systems supporting Amazon’s LEO constellation.

The first Vulcan booster is vertical inside Amazon’s dedicated Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A) at SLC-41 as prep continues for Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01), the first of 38 Leo missions on Vulcan Centaur.
Leo satellites are already stacked for LV-01 and future Vulcan launches, and this step will allow @ULAlaunch teams to validate the systems, hardware, and procedures needed to support a sustained, high-cadence launch rate for Leo Vulcan missions.
