Leo 5 Launch Orbits 29 Broadband Satellites
Brings the the Total Number of Amazon Leo Satellites Launched by ULA to 139
The Amazon Leo 5 launch has deployed another batch of operational satellites into low Earth orbit. A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the Leo 5 mission for Amazon lifted off very early in the morning on April 4 from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
“We have precisely delivered a total of 139 satellites, and each one contributes to Amazon’s overall mission.”

This mission demonstrates the strong partnership between ULA and Amazon to accurately and rapidly launch and deliver innovative solutions for global connectivity. “Connecting the world begins with liftoff and ULA is proud to work collaboratively with Amazon Leo to deliver the next batch of 29 satellites to space,” said Gary Wentz, ULA vice president of Atlas and Vulcan programs. “We have precisely delivered a total of 139 satellites, and each one contributes to Amazon’s overall mission, we understand the importance of populating the Leo constellation and are already working on our next Amazon Leo mission, Leo 6 which will launch on an Atlas V rocket in late April.”
There are three remaining Amazon Leo missions on the Atlas V rocket, as well as 38 launches on the next-generation Vulcan rocket.
ULA’s next launch is the Atlas V Amazon Leo 6 mission. This launch is planned for April 27, 2026, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., pending range approval.
