On April 30, Europe's heavy-class Ariane 6 launch vehicle lifted off from the Kourou spaceport. Ixbt.com reports.

The rocket carried 32 satellites from the "Amazon Leo" project, designed for a global internet network.

The flight was carried out by Arianespace, and this was the seventh mission of the Ariane 6 rocket.

According to the mission plan, the rocket should deliver the payload to low Earth orbit and deploy the satellites within two hours.

The "Amazon Leo" project envisions the creation of a massive constellation of nearly 3,200 satellites in total.

To achieve this goal, more than 80 launches using various rockets are planned.
