An Arianespace-built Ariane 6 rocket, flying in a 64 configuration, launched 32 Amazon Leo satellites into low Earth orbit. This was the second flight of an Ariane 64 rocket, which features four boosters. The mission was designated as VA268 by Arianespace and Leo Europe 02 (LE-02) by Amazon. This was the second in a series of 18 Ariane 64 launches procured by Amazon to launch its Amazon Leo satellites (previously called Project Kuiper).
