U.S. private space company SpaceX launched 24 Starlink satellites into orbit on Friday. The satellites lifted off aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 10:04 a.m. Pacific Time (1704 GMT), according to SpaceX. After stage separation, the rocket's

first stage booster landed on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You," positioned in the Pacific Ocean. Starlink will deliver high-speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable, according to SpaceX.
