LOS ANGELES: SpaceX successfully launched 23 additional Starlink satellites into orbit, marking another milestone in its mission to provide high-speed broadband internet to underserved areas.

The satellites were launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following liftoff, the Falcon 9’s first stage landed safely on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
