SpaceX launches 22 more Starlink internet satellites into space

U.S. private space company SpaceX launched 22 more Starlink satellites into orbit on Monday (April 1).

The satellites were launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket at 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time (0230 GMT Tuesday) Monday from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, according to SpaceX.

Falcon 9's first-stage booster landed on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

The company later confirmed the deployment of the 22 satellites.

Where access to high-speed broadband internet has been inconsistent, costly, or nonexistent, Starlink will provide it, according to SpaceX.
