U.S. private space company SpaceX launched 23 more Starlink satellites into orbit on Friday, reported Xinhua.

The satellites were launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, according to SpaceX.

Falcon 9's first stage landed on the "A Shortfall of Gravitas" droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the company.

SpaceX later confirmed the deployment of the 23 satellites.

Starlink will deliver high-speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive or completely unavailable, according to SpaceX.
