A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 23 Starlink internet satellites, 13 of which have direct-to-cell capability, from Florida this afternoon (March 18).

SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit, a little more than 12 hours after the private company teamed up with NASA to send four astronauts to the International Space Station -- also from Florida.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket with 23 Starlink satellites on Tuesday afternoon. The rocket lifted off at 3:57 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. SpaceX successfully landed the rocket first stage booster a few minutes after launch.
