According to SpaceX, the Falcon 9 rocket, carrying 51 Starlink satellites, was safely launched into orbit on Monday night.
The Falcon 9 rocket took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 8:55 p.m. local time (03:55 GMT) and deployed Starlink satellites, which were confirmed about 20 minutes later.
The first-stage booster landed safely aboard the droneship, 'Of Course I Still Love You.'
Starlink is a next-generation satellite network that will provide residents of the Earth with high-speed Internet access. The project started in February of this year. Its mission is to provide high-speed Internet connectivity to everyone in the world.
