The Amazon Leo satellite network has ordered six additional launches on Europe’s Ariane 6 launcher, operator Arianespace said on Wednesday, in a boost to Europe’s flagship rocket programme.
French President Emmanuel Macron hailed the deal at the opening of a two-day space summit shunned by top U.S. space firms including Blue Origin, the launch provider owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, following what sources last week described as White House pressure over the summit’s Europe-led agenda.
