ULA’s Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral is slated to launch a 29-satellite Amazon Leo mission in a 12:24 a.m. ET window on July 2, delivering a roughly 18-ton payload for Amazon’s low-Earth orbit broadband megaconstellation (aiming for about 3,200 satellites). The mission, Amazon Leo 8, continues Amazon’s effort to rival SpaceX’s Starlink, with live coverage provided by Space.com and ULA starting around midnight ET.
