Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) is targeting Jun 17 at 7:53 a.m. ET/11:53 a.m. UTC for liftoff from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. This is our third Ariane 6 mission and our largest Ariane 6 payload to date, with 36 satellites launching using upgraded P160C solid rocket boosters.
With more than 300 satellites already deployed, LE-03 will mark 100 launched with @Arianespace as we continue scaling deployment ahead of an initial service rollout later this year.
