Amazon confirms it now has enough satellites (currently 396) in orbit to begin “initial service” of its Leo internet-from-space network later this year. Last launch = liftoff at 12:30:15 a.m. EDT on July 2, using ULA Atlas V launch vehicle.

No formal start date for LEO other than "later this year". https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/02/amazon-has-deployed-enough-satellites-to-launch-leo-service-this-year.html #Amazon #Leo #Space #Satellite #Internet #ULA #AtlasV #LowEarthOrbit

LAUNCH! The final Atlas V (with a satellite - with still some potential Starliners) launches with Amazon Leo (LA-08) from SLC-41.

Lancering Starliner nog maar eens vertraagd – nu naar 25 mei

De vertraging met vier dagen maakt het mogelijk om het heliumlek in een van de voorstuwingsmotoren van de Starliner verder te onderzoeken.

Final #DeltaHeavy IV rocket launch 🚀 March 29. The #AtlasV will keep flying through 📆 2029, booked for #Amazon's #Kuiper internet constellation and #Boeing's #Starliner to the #ISS, slated for no earlier than 📆 May 1 ⏳ https://www.space.com/ula-delta-iv-heavy-nrol-70-livestream

The #Atlas launch vehicle has evolved over the many years. The first Atlas SM-65 was a nuclear missile modified to launch spacecraft. Upper stages were added like Agena and Centaur.
The #skin of the #AtlasRocket was made of stainless #steel and thinner than a US #dime. The tanks could not support their own weight and had to be pressurized with gas to prevent them from crumpling.
This was true from Atlas, to Atlas-Centaur, to Atlas I, Atlas IIAS, and Atlas III.
The #AtlasV’s skin is made of isogrid aluminum; this being a type of machined aluminum that removed triangular sections from the inside of the tank walls, saving weight while preserving strength.
A copper-colored outer cladding is added.
