A more powerful Ariane 64. Our largest Ariane payload yet.
The next batch of Amazon Leo satellites arrived in French Guiana ahead of launch on Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) with @Arianespace.
LE-03 will be our first mission aboard Ariane 64 with upgraded P160C boosters, enabling increased payload capacity as we continue scaling deployment of our constellation.

The next Amazon Leo mission Leo Europe 3 (LE-03) is targeting Wednesday, June 17 at 7:53 a.m. ET / 11:53 a.m. UTC for launch from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

he P160C boosters are an upgraded version of Ariane 6's P120C solid rocket boosters, developed by ArianeGroup. They carry additional solid propellant and extend operating time, increasing Ariane 6's low Earth orbit payload performance by more than two metric tons. This enables heavier and more capable missions—and for Amazon Leo, it also means deploying more satellites per launch as the constellation scales.
"Increasing our payload capacity to 36 satellites per mission is the result of extensive engineering collaboration between our team and Arianespace. Every additional satellite we can safely deploy on a single launch accelerates the pace at which we scale our constellation and bring reliable connectivity to customers around the world. The upgraded P160C boosters give us the performance margin to do that confidently, and we're already looking ahead to further optimizations as we continue building out Amazon Leo," said Melissa Wuerl, director of Launch Systems, Amazon Leo.

This is an interesting milestone for both Amazon Leo and Ariane 6. Increasing the payload from previous missions to 36 satellites per launch shows how valuable incremental improvements in launch vehicle performance can be. The upgraded P160C boosters appear to provide a meaningful increase in lift capability, allowing Arianespace to deliver more satellites per mission and improving the overall economics and deployment speed of the constellation.
It's also a good example of how close collaboration between satellite operators and launch providers can optimize mission design. Every additional satellite placed into orbit reduces the number of launches needed, which can save time and resources when building a large-scale low Earth orbit network.

Это важная веха как для Amazon Leo, так и для Ariane 6. Увеличение полезной нагрузки по сравнению с предыдущими миссиями до 36 спутников за запуск демонстрирует, насколько ценными могут быть постепенные улучшения характеристик ракеты-носителя. Модернизированные ускорители P160C, по-видимому, обеспечивают существенное увеличение грузоподъемности, позволяя Arianespace доставлять больше спутников за миссию и улучшая общую экономику и скорость развертывания группировки.
Это также хороший пример того, как тесное сотрудничество между операторами спутников и поставщиками услуг запуска может оптимизировать проектирование миссий. Каждый дополнительный спутник, выведенный на орбиту, уменьшает количество необходимых запусков, что может сэкономить время и ресурсы при создании крупномасштабной сети спутников на низкой околоземной орбите.

Dear Antoniohester,
As this is a Russian speaking forum, kindly ask you to provide a translation of your posts and thoughts (an example made by GT inserted above), in order to primary audience may read you without dictionaries :)
Hope for your understanding,

The first launch of an Ariane 6 launch vehicle in the 64 configuration with P160C solid rocket engine boosters (A64 VA269) launched 36 Amazon Leo satellites (LE-03) from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, on 17 June 2026, at 12:21 UTC (09:21 local time). According to Arianespace, in comparison with the previously used P120C, the P160C motor is one metre longer, carries 14 tons more of solid propellant (up to 156 tons) and provides a 10–15% increase in the launcher's performance.
