Set for 17 June 2026, Ariane 6 is preparing for launch from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. Mission VA269 (Amazon Leo LE‑03) will place 36 Amazon low Earth orbit satellites into orbit, supporting the deployment of Amazon’s global broadband constellation. This will be the third consecutive Ariane 6 mission dedicated to Amazon Leo and the first Ariane 64 flight using the upgraded P160C solid rocket boosters, boosting performance and enabling the heaviest payload ever launched by an Ariane launcher.
