If the timeframe is 2027, why not Ariane 5 or 6? Ariane 6 is supposed to have its maiden flight in 2023. Ariane 5 is already in use.


Ariane 5 is EOL. There are only two left, to be launched sometime this year.


Ariane 5 is done. Ariane 6 will launch maybe once this year. And then its already massively overbooked. So much so that many of its launches will likely fly on Falcon 9.

And on top of that Amazon has bought a huge amount of launches. Flying these will take many years.

Its unlikely that they have capacity. Realistically this is a ~2030 at best, not 2027.
