\"Arianespace<\/p>\n

On February 12, 2026 local time, Arianespace<\/strong> will launch 32 Amazon LEO<\/strong> satellites with Ariane 64 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The precise launch window will be announced in the coming weeks. The mission, called VA267 (LE-01 for Amazon Leo), will initiate the first of 18 Ariane 6<\/strong> launches booked to support the deployment of the Amazon Leo constellation. It will also mark the first launch for the constellation performed by a European launcher.<\/p>\n

VA267 will be the first flight of Ariane 6 in its full-power Ariane 64 configuration, capable of carrying payloads of more than 20 metric tons to orbit. The 32 Amazon Leo satellites will be accommodated under a 20-meter-long fairing and delivered by the Ariane 64 rocket to a Low Earth Orbit.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
