Thirty-six Amazon Leo satellites have arrived in French Guiana for final preparations ahead of their planned launch on a powerful Ariane 64 rocket.
The satellites are now at the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Their arrival is just the beginning of a series of operations leading up to launch day.
Arianespace says the work includes individual satellite checks and preparation to payload integration, with each step requires careful coordination to ensure everything is ready for the journey to orbit
Arianespace oversees these operations as the launch campaign progresses towards liftoff aboard Ariane 64, currently targeted for no earlier than November 23rd, depending on the final launch time.
