Being that we live in the land of the free, ammonium perchlorate and potassium nitrate are readily available :) |

rank | Thu Apr 30 09:59:27 We have rockets, too! 30 minutes until start! https://www.youtube.com/live/H0zLzwGEhcg Flight VA268/LE-02 is now scheduled for April 30, 2026, within the following launch window: 04:08 – 04:57 (Washington, D.C.) 05:08 – 05:57 (Kourou) 08:08 – 08:57 (UTC) 10:08 – 10:57 (Paris) Ariane 6 is in the final phase of the launch campaign, with all systems ready to support launch on April 30. Launch preparations are complete and the payload composite, enclosing the 32 Amazon Leo satellites, has been successfully mated atop the launcher. The mission, called VA268 and LE-02 for Amazon Leo, will mark the second Ariane 6 launch dedicated to the deployment of the Amazon Leo constellation, within a series of 18. Equipped with four solid rocket boosters, Ariane 64 is the most powerful version of Ariane 6. For this mission, the launcher will carry the 32 satellites under its 20-meter-long fairing and deploy them into low Earth orbit following a mission lasting less than 2 hours from lift-off to separation of the last spacecraft. |
