Ariane 6

The first flight of the Ariane 64 four-booster variant launched from French Guiana.

Arianespace inaugurated a new configuration of the Ariane 6 rocket by placing 32 Amazon Leo satellites into Low Earth Orbit.

Arianespace’s Ariane 64 rocket conducted its first launch from French Guiana at 8:45am carrying 32 Amazon low-Earth-orbit satellites.

Arianespace demonstrated Ariane 6 in its full-power Ariane 64 configuration to support large-scale constellation deployments.

The LE-01 flight designation was used by Amazon for the Ariane 64 mission.

Amazon is deploying its Project Kuiper constellation with more than thirty satellites scheduled to be launched aboard an Ariane 64.

Arianespace conducted a successful first launch using the Ariane 64 rocket on February 12, 2026 to deploy the Leo satellites.

The Ariane 64 four-booster variant can deliver more than twice the LEO payload of the Ariane 62 two-booster variant.

Arianespace is working to clear a backlog in order to ensure availability of Ariane 6 rockets for Europe’s IRIS2 secure communications constellation.

VA267 was the first Ariane 6 launch in the Ariane 64 configuration, which is equipped with four boosters.

The flight was the first mission for Arianespace’s Ariane 64 launcher, a configuration of the Ariane 6 platform that uses four boosters.

Ariane 64’s four boosters increase payload mass to orbit to more than double that of the baseline Ariane 6.

The payload on the Ariane 64 mission was the heaviest payload Arianespace had placed into orbit.

Arianespace is responsible for commercial operations of the Ariane 6 launcher.

The VA267 mission used the first Ariane 64, the most powerful version of Ariane 6 equipped with four boosters.

The Feb. 12 mission was the first flight of the Ariane 64 variant of the Ariane 6 rocket.

The Ariane 6 version with four boosters is designated Ariane 64.

The Ariane 64 and United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rockets both completed their recent missions successfully.
