Amazon Leo-05 (also referred to as LA-05 or Leo Atlas 5) is the upcoming mission in Amazon’s Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) satellite constellation deployment. This mission will launch a batch of production satellites (typically 27) aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 551 rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.
The planned launch date is Monday, March 30, 2026. Recent updates from Amazon’s official mission page and ULA indicate preparations are underway, with the mission on track as the fifth Atlas V launch for the program (and the ninth overall Leo mission to date). Over 200 satellites are already in orbit, supporting the ramp-up toward commercial service in select regions, including the UK.
Launch dates remain subject to change due to weather, technical checks, or range scheduling—always verify closer to the date.
