Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network, whose mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers beyond the reach of existing networks.
Arianespace is set to launch 32 satellites for Amazons low Earth orbit (LEO) broadband constellation on February 12, 2026, using the Ariane 64 rocket from Europes Spaceport in French Guiana. The exact launch window is expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Designated VA267, also referred to as LE-01 for Amazon Leo, the mission represents the first of 18 Ariane 6 launches contracted to support the deployment of Amazons satellite constellation. It will also be the first time the Amazon Leo network is launched aboard a European rocket.
VA267 will mark the debut of Ariane 6 in its most powerful configuration, Ariane 64, which is capable of delivering payloads exceeding 20 metric tons into orbit. The 32 satellites will be housed beneath a 20-metre-long payload fairing and deployed into low Earth orbit during the mission.
The launch sequence is expected to last approximately one hour and 54 minutes from lift-off to the separation of the final satellite.
Amazon Leo is Amazons LEO satellite initiative aimed at providing high-speed, reliable internet connectivity to underserved and remote regions where traditional terrestrial networks are limited or unavailable.
