On Tuesday, April 23 at 6:17 p.m. ET, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 vehicle with a payload containing 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit. SpaceX has been deploying new Starlink satellites to grow satellite internet constellation.

These new additions will further enhance the connectivity between the Starlink satellites and contribute stability for the end user.

After the first stage of separation, the company initiated a boost back burn and landed the rocket on a drone ship. It was the ninth flight for this first-stage booster and the 300th overall Falcon landing.
