October 14, 2026 Will Robinson-Smith

An Ariane 6 rocket from Arianespace will launch a batch of 36 Amazon Leo satellites into low Earth orbit. The mission, also designated VA271, will fly using the Ariane 64 rocket configuration with four P160C solid-propellant boosters augmenting the Vulcain 2.1 main engine. This will be the 10th flight of an Ariane 6 rocket and the fourth out of 24 flights booked by Amazon on the launcher.
