Overview
Amazon is building Amazon Leo, formerly Project Kuiper, as a low Earth orbit broadband network for customers and communities beyond the reach of existing terrestrial infrastructure. The system combines thousands of satellites with a global ground network and a three-terminal hardware lineup: Leo Nano, Leo Pro, and Leo Ultra. Amazon began enterprise preview in November 2025 and says broader service rollout will follow in 2026 as coverage and capacity increase. After LA-06 and LE-02 in late April 2026, Amazon had launched 302 production satellites, and its planned acquisition of Globalstar adds a direct-to-device path for future Leo generations.

Amazon Leo had launched about 302 production satellites by late April 2026 after LA-06 and LE-02. Amazon says it has hundreds more flight-ready satellites, plans 20+ full-scale missions over the next year, and intends to expand from enterprise preview into broader commercial rollout during 2026 as network coverage and capacity improve.
