Los Angeles: US private space company SpaceX successfully launched 54 more Starlink internet satellites into orbit.

A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 10:50 am ET (1450 GMT) on Thursday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Following the launch, SpaceX confirmed the Starlink satellites were deployed.

Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
