SpaceX has successfully launched another batch of Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The mission deployed 24 broadband internet satellites into low Earth orbit, further expanding SpaceX's Starlink internet service. The first stage booster, B1093, which has previously flown 15 missions, was used for this launch and successfully landed on the drone ship 'Of Course I Still Love You' in the Pacific Ocean.
