Teams are now moving through the major milestones toward the very first Ariane 6 launch for @AmazonLeo, scheduled for February:
(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/391069.jpg) (https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/391070.jpg)
- Transfer of the stages from the integration facilities to the launch pad
- Satellite encapsulation
- Transfer of satellites under fairing to the launch zone
- Assembly on the launcher
- Satellite Wet Dress Rehearsal
- Launch Readiness Review
- SSHEL (Liquid helium subsystem) filling
- Final launch countdown and liftoff.
With the Ariane 6 elements now in Kourou and the first Amazon Leo satellites already on site, teams are fully engaged in mission preparations as the path to VA267/LE-01 continues.
Первые спутники тоже там.

ЦитироватьArianespace is targeting Thursday, Feb. 12 for our Leo Europe 1 (LE-01) mission. This first mission with Arianespace will launch on Ariane 64, the more powerful, four-booster variant of the Ariane 6 rocket, and send another 32 satellites to low Earth orbit, bringing the total number of Amazon Leo spacecraft launched to date to 212 satellites. The mission will lift off from Europe's Spaceport at the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, and exact launch timing will be announced closer to the mission. LE-01 is the first of 18 missions with Arianespace, the first heavy‑lift launch on our 2026 manifest, and Amazon Leo's eighth mission overall.

The four P120C boosters for the first Ariane 64 have arrived on the launch pad!
The four P120C boosters, which will power the liftoff of Ariane 64 on February 12, have now been transferred to the launch pad at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. The preparation of the first Ariane 64 launch continues.
These boosters will be integrated around the launcher's central core already standing on the pad.
With four boosters, Ariane 64 enables the lift performance required to deploy satellite constellations.
With each integration step, Ariane 64 takes shape and moves closer to liftoff.
Stay tuned as the Ariane 64 assembly continues.
