WASHINGTON: SpaceX has successfully launched 24 Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The company said the rocket's first-stage booster landed successfully on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean, continuing its reusable launch programme.
The mission is aimed at expanding the Starlink satellite network, improving high-speed internet coverage, particularly in remote areas, and supporting the future rollout of direct-to-cell connectivity without the need for dedicated user terminals.
