ULA’s Atlas V rocket is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral at 8:52 p.m. ET to deploy 29 Amazon Leo satellites for the Amazon Leo broadband constellation, marking the sixth Atlas V mission in this program and potentially tying the rocket’s heaviest payload record (~18 tons); Amazon’s long‑term plan envisions more than 3,200 satellites in low‑Earth orbit, with live coverage available on Space.com and via ULA’s feed.
