Amazon’s Leo satellite internet project is rocketing forward with its next launch, LE-03, set for June 17th—marking the 100th Amazon Leo satellite sent into orbit by Arianespace in under five months. Powered by the upgraded Ariane 6 rocket with new, more powerful P160C solid boosters, this mission will deploy 36 satellites at once, a new record for both companies. These boosters, built right in Europe, add over two metric tons of payload capacity, accelerating Amazon’s global internet constellation buildout. With 18 Ariane 6 launches secured, Amazon is Arianespace’s biggest customer and a major driver of Europe’s space economy, supporting thousands of jobs and billions in GDP. Since its first full-scale mission last April, Amazon Leo has already launched over 330 satellites across 12 missions, using a multi-provider strategy while relying exclusively on Arianespace in Europe. The goal? Bringing fast, reliable internet to underserved communities, enabling telemedicine, first responders, and digital growth everywhere—with service rollout expected this year and expansion planned as the constellation grows.
