    What does it actually take to bring world-class connectivity to billions of people who have never had reliable internet access? Not in theory — in practice, one launch at a time. Amazon Leo VP of Business Chris Weber joins Amazon Web Services (AWS) Executive in Residence Tom Soderstrom for a fireside chat that goes beyond the headline numbers. From gigabit downlink speeds and private networking connectivity that never touches the public internet, to the customer obsession driving every decision. With over 200 satellites now in orbit, the vision is becoming real. Watch the full conversation to hear how. 🛰️ https://spr.ly/6048BBBUvE

    What if reliable connectivity could unlock opportunity for billions in the world's most remote places? 🛰️ Chris Weber, VP of Business at Amazon Leo, joins Tom Soderstrom, Executive in Residence at AWS, to explore how satellite connectivity is transforming global access. 🛜 With over 200 satellites in orbit, Amazon Leo delivers breakthrough performance and works virtually anywhere, opening doors to healthcare, education, and financial services for underserved populations worldwide. 🌎 "If you think about individuals who have had no access, in some of the most remote parts of the world, now having reliable internet service, it opens up huge opportunities for those individuals, for those families, or businesses. Whether it's access to healthcare, access to education, access to financial services. We can't wait to get the service up and running and delivered, because it'll be game changing, life changing, for many people." 🚀 Watch now: 👉 https://go.aws/4cxS1EH Hosted by: 🎙️ Tom Soderstrom, Executive in Residence, AWS #AWSExecutiveInsights #AWS #AmazonLeo #Connectivity #DigitalTransformation #Innovation

    Official ARIANESPACE mission patch for Leo Europe 2 (LE-02), our second mission on Ariane 6. The design features in-flight connectivity, just one of the many ways Amazon Leo will deliver fast, reliable internet to customers around the world. Liftoff of LE-02 is scheduled for April 28 from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Ariane 6’s more powerful four-booster configuration will deploy another 32 Leo satellites within the following window: • 4:51 a.m. – 5:39 a.m. (Washington, D.C.) • 5:51 a.m. – 6:39 a.m. (Kourou) • 8:51 a.m. – 9:39 a.m. (UTC) • 10:51 a.m. – 11:39 a.m. (Paris)

    Big one for Amazon Leo.   We’re adding direct-to-device capabilities to our low Earth orbit satellite network. We’re acquiring Globalstar to help make it happen. And we’ve signed an agreement with Apple to become their primary satellite service provider.   Beginning in 2028, we'll deploy a next-generation D2D satellite system that delivers advanced voice, data, and messaging services directly to standard mobile phones and cellular devices. Connectivity, wherever you are.   To build this, we're bringing together a few critical pieces:    1. Globalstar acquisition: Amazon has entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Globalstar, a pioneer in D2D technology with 30+ years of operational expertise and globally authorized MSS spectrum. Their spectrum, infrastructure, and knowledge will accelerate our path to deploying these capabilities.     2. Architecture: Our D2D system will offer substantially higher spectrum use and efficiency than legacy direct-to-cell systems— which means higher throughput and capacity, and better performance for customers. It integrates with our first- and second-generation Leo constellations, forming a unified network that combines fixed and mobile satellites services with capacity to support hundreds of millions of customer endpoints and a wide range of customer use cases.     3. Partnerships: We've signed an agreement with Apple to power satellite services for supported iPhone and Apple Watch models, including Emergency SOS via satellite. And we'll work with mobile network operators to help extend their coverage beyond terrestrial networks.     There are billions of people beyond the reach of existing networks. Direct-to-device gives us another way to bridge that divide and unlock the full potential of Leo.     Exciting things to come. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gZYPcPZk

    Amazon is acquiring Globalstar to support our long-term vision for Amazon Leo. The agreement will allow us to build a next-generation direct-to-device constellation that connects to Leo first- and second-generation systems, forming a unified network to connect hundreds of millions of customer endpoints globally. In parallel, we have also signed a long-term agreement with Apple for Amazon Leo to power satellite services for supported iPhone and Apple Watch models, allowing users to text emergency services, message friends and family, request roadside assistance, and more.

    Rolled out and on the pad: Ariane 6’s central core is now vertical in French Guiana as prep continues for Leo Europe 2 (LE-02)—our second launch with ARIANESPACE and another step in our heavy-lift deployment campaign. The 32-satellite Leo payload is fully integrated on the dispenser ahead of launch, scheduled for April 28 from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou.

    Mission VA268: Ariane 6 has reached the launch pad. At Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, the central core of Ariane 6 for mission VA268 has been transferred from the Launcher Integration Building (BAL) to the launch pad. Once in front of the mobile gantry, the stage was raised to a vertical position, a key milestone in the launcher assembly process. This operation initiates the final assembly phase on the pad, where Ariane 64, the most powerful version of Ariane 6, will progressively come together. Scheduled for April 28, 2026, mission VA268 will place 32 Amazon Leo satellites into low Earth orbit, demonstrating once again Ariane 6’s capability to support large-scale constellation deployments. The campaign is underway. #LaunchingAmbitions Amazon Leo ArianeGroup European Space Agency - ESA Centre National d'Études Spatiales

    29 more Leo satellites in orbit following last night’s launch, and we’re already looking ahead to upcoming missions. We’ll be back on the pad in three weeks for Leo Atlas 6 (April 27) and Leo Europe 2 (April 28), and payloads are already stacked for those missions and four others — more than 250 satellites in total — including inaugural Leo missions on Vulcan and New Glenn.

    Very cool look at the relative size of Amazon Leo payloads across all four of our launch providers: ARIANESPACE, Blue Origin, SpaceX, and United Launch Alliance (ULA). We knew from the start we'd use different rockets to deploy our constellation, so one of the main considerations behind our satellite design was creating an architecture that would let us utilize every ounce of performance and every cubic centimeter of space on each rocket -- from a 5.4-meter, 77-foot-tall Atlas V fairing, all the way up to New Glenn's massive 7-meter fairing. It's a remarkable feat of precision and engineering, and it's been pretty amazing to see six of these (200+ satellites in total) fully stacked down in Florida and ready for launch. One of them is set to launch overnight as part of our Leo Atlas 5 mission, the first Atlas V with an expanded Leo payload of 29 satellites. The Leo team continues to execute at an incredible pace too — on track to hit 11 missions in our first 12 months of deployment, and we plan to double that pace with 20+ missions in year two. Thanks to the whole team for getting us to this place. Pedal to the metal. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gzwJWE_T
