June 3 (UPI) — SpaceX early Tuesday launched a Falcon 9 rocket loaded with a batch of Starlink satellites into area from the East Coast.

The rocket launched at 12:43 a.m. EDT from House Launch Advanced 40 at Cape Canaveral House Power Station in Florida.

The mission was to place a batch of 23 Starlink satellites, 13 of which have direct-to-cell capabilities, into low-Earth orbit, the place they may be a part of the ever-growing constellation of 1000’s of orbitals that collectively supply high-speed, low-latency Web throughout the globe.

The primary-stage booster, on its twenty first flight, safely returned to Earth and landed upon the Simply Learn the Directions droneship, which was awaiting it within the Atlantic Ocean.
