Fresh @AmazonLeo logo going onto Ariane 6's 20-meter-tall fairing ahead of our next launch with @Arianespace. Insider tip: the color is "krypton," not purple...inspired by the krypton-fueled thruster on each Leo satellite. Still not tired of seeing it. Thanks to the Leo and is one ready to fly.

Sunset over what we call a customer terminal or “CT” farm. One of the many ways we're working to expand network testing. The @AmazonLeo team stood this up quickly, and we’re already learning a lot about how to make the service better for customers.

A single @AmazonLeo satellite is made up of roughly 4 million individual components and weighs more than 1,000 pounds. When we started, it took weeks to build just one. Now, we’ve built more than 1,000.
Next up: Another Ariane 6 mission and our first launches on Vulcan.
Really t the 1K milestone. Check it out: aboutamazon.com/stories/how-am…

1000+ Leo satellites complete, with hundreds on standby for launch.
From two prototypes to a full-rate production line, every Leo satellite is designed, built, and tested at our factory in Kirkland, WA. Getting here meant standing up a satellite factory from scratch, compressing ionally take months into days, and learning from every piece of hardware we broke along the way.

Nadine started at an Amazon delivery station. Jessica started at a fulfillment center. Today, Nadine assembles solar panels on Leo satellites. Jessica tests components in our space simulation lab.
Both earned aerospace certifications at no cost to them through Amazon's Career now one of thousands of people at Amazon helping build, launch, and operate our growing satellite network.

Most internships end with a doc. This one ended with a rocket launch. Thanks for spending your summer with us!
Love seeing some of the cool things our interns experienced during their time at @amazon. Especially big moments like @AmazonLeo's LA-08 mission. Congrats to the 2026 intern class on a successful summer. Pumped to see what you do next!

Direct-to-device is a key part of our long-term vision for @AmazonLeo. Big opportunity to connect more people in more places (and too big to do entirely on our own). Our plan is to start deploying in 2028, and we’re excited to work with partners to make it happen.

Following our agreement to acquire @Globalstar, we've filed with the @FCC to deploy the Leo D2D System—up to 5,105 new satellites that will bring voice, data, messaging, and emergency services directly to compatible mobile devices. The new system is a core part of our long-term bringing high-speed connectivity to more people in more places around the world.

We built Amazon Leo to bring fast, reliable internet to customers and communities beyond the reach of existing networks. @hero_telecoms has spent years doing exactly that across South Africa — reaching farming towns, small businesses, and communities on the outskirts. Proud to see our teams working together to bring connectivity to even more South Africans who need it, and look forward to rolling out service to those customers in the future.
We’re bringing Leo to South Africa through a collaboration with @hero_telecoms, helping deliver fast, reliable internet to millions of people and small businesses in rural, peri-urban and agricultural communities across the country.
