Amazon comandă încă şase lansări cu racheta europeană Ariane 6; Compania îşi extinde reţeaua de sateliţi care concurează cu Starlink

Amazon has ordered six additional launches from Arianespace, increasing its total to 24 missions for its satellite network, Amazon Leo, aiming to compete with SpaceX's Starlink. This agreement, announced at the International Space Summit in Paris, boosts the European space industry amid efforts to reduce reliance on external providers. Arianespace, owned by ArianeGroup, will use the Ariane 64 rocket for these missions. The European space sector is attracting significant investments, with companies like Isar Aerospace successfully launching rockets and securing funding for expansion. However, political tensions and the need for coordinated investments pose challenges to Europe's space ambitions.
