Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is a low Earth orbit satellite constellation designed to deliver fast, reliable internet beyond the reach of existing networks.

Nadine started at an Amazon delivery station. Jessica started at a fulfillment center. Today, Nadine assembles solar panels on Leo satellites. Jessica tests components in our space simulation lab.

Both earned aerospace certifications at no cost to them through Amazon's Career Choice program, and are now one of thousands of people at Amazon helping build, launch, and operate our growing satellite network.

Most internships end with a doc. This one ended with a rocket launch. Thanks for spending your summer with us!

[Panos Panay @panos_panay]

Love seeing some of the cool things our interns experienced during their time at @amazon. Especially big moments like @AmazonLeo's LA-08 mission. Congrats to the 2026 intern class on a successful summer. Pumped to see what you do next!

[Chris Weber @Weber44Chris]

Direct-to-device is a key part of our long-term vision for @AmazonLeo. Big opportunity to connect more people in more places (and too big to do entirely on our own). Our plan is to start deploying in 2028, and we’re excited to work with partners to make it happen.

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

Following our agreement to acquire @Globalstar, we've filed with the @FCC to deploy the Leo D2D System—up to 5,105 new satellites that will bring voice, data, messaging, and emergency services directly to compatible mobile devices. The new system is a core part of our long-term vision for Amazon Leo, bringing high-speed connectivity to more people in more places around the world.

.@AmazonLeo and @hero_telecoms just signed an agreement to bring fast, reliable satellite internet to areas of South Africa where existing broadband can’t reach. The service is called Evry, and it will be offered by Herotel and powered by Leo.

Proud of the teams making this happen. This is what the work is all about.

[Chris Weber @Weber44Chris]

We built Amazon Leo to bring fast, reliable internet to customers and communities beyond the reach of existing networks. @hero_telecoms has spent years doing exactly that across South Africa — reaching farming towns, small businesses, and communities on the outskirts. Proud to see our teams working together to bring connectivity to even more South Africans who need it, and look forward to rolling out service to those customers in the future.

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

We’re bringing Leo to South Africa through a collaboration with @hero_telecoms, helping deliver fast, reliable internet to millions of people and small businesses in rural, peri-urban and agricultural communities across the country.

Leo Atlas➡️ Leo Vulcan

Eight Leo Atlas launches. 224 satellites delivered to orbit.

Next up with ULA: The first of 38 missions on its all-new, heavy-lift Vulcan rocket, capable of carrying 40+ satellites at a time and launching at a faster rate from SLC-41.

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

LA-08 was our final Atlas V mission with @ULAlaunch as we transition to its new, heavy-lift Vulcan rocket.

Look back at the Leo Atlas era—from the inaugural launch that kicked off a full-scale deployment of Amazon Leo, to Leo Atlas 8, which brought our constellation to nearly 400 satellites in orbit.

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

LA-08 was also the last time Atlas V flew in its most powerful 551 configuration. The "551" is a naming code:

5 = five-meter payload fairing

5 = five solid rocket boosters strapped to the core

1 = single-engine Centaur upper stage

And helped make our 29-satellite stack the heaviest payload in Atlas V history.

[Panos Panay @panos_panay]

29 more satellites deployed, adding to the 350+ already in orbit. Congrats to our @AmazonLeo teams and @ulalaunch.

[Chris Weber @Weber44Chris]

Last few launches were big for @AmazonLeo - bringing us to 390+ satellites deployed, enough to support continuous service across initial latitudes.

Still lots of work ahead – including raising all these new satellites to their assigned altitude – but we’ve completed enough launches for initial service this yr, and future missions just add coverage and capacity.

Thanks @ulalaunch Atlas V for getting us to this point. Ready for 40+ sat launches on Vulcan.

🚀 🚀 🚀

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

Deployment confirmed.

Atlas V has completed its final mission for Amazon Leo, and we've established contact with all 29 satellites in low Earth orbit.

Next up with @ULAlaunch: The first of 38 Leo missions on its new Vulcan rocket, which will carry 40+ satellites per launch and support a higher cadence of Leo missions from SLC-41.

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

Tonight: Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08)

Atlas V rolled to the pad with 29 Leo satellites – our final mission on Atlas V before transitioning to Vulcan with @ULAlaunch.

Launch is set for Thurs, Jul 2 at 12:24 a.m. ET from SLC-41.

Next up: Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08)

Our 29-satellite payload has been transferred to @ULAlaunch for integration with Atlas V, and launch is set for Thurs, Jul 2 at 12:24 a.m. ET – adding to the 350+ Leo satellites already in orbit as we prepare to roll out service to customers.

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

.@HitachiCME will use Amazon Leo to connect remote construction sites across the UK and Germany.

Hitachi is the first construction machinery manufacturer to use Leo, and with a global network running on @AWS, will be able to use the service to move data directly from remote sites to existing cloud resources.

[ULA @ulalaunch]

The launch of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 551 rocket carrying the next batch of production satellites for Amazon Leo, Leo 8, is planned for Thursday, July 2, pending range approval. The 29-minute launch window opens at 12:24 a.m. EDT.

[Amazon Leo @AmazonLeo]

Look back at Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) with @Arianespace.

✅ Largest Leo payload yet, with 36 satellites on board
✅ Heaviest commercial payload ever launched at 22 metric tons
✅ 350+ satellites now in orbit for Amazon Leo

Up next: Leo Atlas 8 (LA-08) with @ulalaunch, NET July 2.
