Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Amazon’s service target depends on continued constellation deployment; the two launches would add capacity as the program advances toward operations. The constellation has already grown to 396 satellites.
  • The missions will extend Amazon Leo’s use of both ULA’s Vulcan and Europe’s Ariane 6, making near-term launch execution relevant to its deployment schedule.
