Amazon is picking up the pace of Leo satellites launched from Europe.<\/p>\n

There are over 330 Leo satellites already in orbit, but the 36 planned for the next Arianespace mission<\/a> is still smaller than the 48 satellites Amazon was planning to launch on a Blue Origin rocket that exploded during testing<\/a> last week. This batch of satellites will launch from a spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on June 17th.<\/p>\n
