Amazon Leo launch on June 2
May 27, 2026
By Chris Forrester
Following the FAA giving permission for Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket to return to flight, the rocket is expected to potentially carry a batch of Amazon Leo satellites into orbit, likely on June 2nd subject to the usual weather and technical considerations.
Blue Origin’s landing barge (Jacklyn LPV-1) was reportedly moved out from Port Canaveral during the evening of May 25th in order to be motored out to the rocket’s target landing zone in the Atlantic.
Meanwhile, a pre-launch rocket engine firing test is likely to happen today [May 27th].
Amazon Leo has booked launch capacity on New Glenn rockets, as well as United Launch Alliance’s Atlas rockets and Arianespace vehicles.
