🚀 VA271 – LE-04 : Ariane 6's 10th flight is on the horizon!

Arianespace is preparing to launch 36 Amazon Leo satellites aboard Ariane 64 from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. Liftoff is currently targeted for no earlier than November 23.

This will be the fourth Ariane 6 mission for Amazon Leo, bringing the total number of satellites launched by Arianespace for the constellation to 136, upon successful completion.

For this mission, Ariane 6 will fly in its most powerful configuration, with four P160C solid rocket boosters.

Another step in Ariane 6's operational ramp-up and our continued partnership with Amazon to help bring connectivity to more people around the world.

🚀 Ariane 6 is one step closer to launch!

Last week, the central core and four P160C solid rocket boosters for the VA271/LE-04 mission were transferred to the launch pad at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.

Made up of the main stage and upper stage, the central core was transported horizontally before being raised into its vertical position on the launch pad.

For its 10th flight, Ariane 6 will fly in its most powerful configuration, Ariane 64, with four boosters providing most of the thrust during the first minutes of flight.

Transportation is not only about taking payloads to space: we also need to transport them safely here on Earth.

One of our next passengers, Metop-SG-B1, has been transferred to a cleanroom and removed from its container.

Launch preparations are ongoing at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.

The Amazon Leo and Arianespace logos are now being added to the Ariane 6 fairing ahead of mission VA271/LE-04!

The fairing will protect 36 Amazon Leo satellites on their way to low Earth orbit aboard Ariane 64.

A behind-the-scenes look at launch preparations!

Fresh @AmazonLeo logo going onto Ariane 6's 20-meter-tall fairing ahead of our next launch with @Arianespace. Insider tip: the color is "krypton," not purple...inspired by the krypton-fueled thruster on each Leo satellite. Still not tired of seeing it. Thanks to the Leo and Ariane teams getting this one ready to fly.
