SpaceX Successfully Launches 23 Satellites in Starlink Doubleheader

SpaceX is set to launch 23 Starlink internet satellites tonight on the second of two planned missions for the day. The Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, with backup opportunities available if needed. The first stage of the rocket will attempt a vertical landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas. This launch is part of SpaceX's broadband megaconstellation, Starlink, which aims to provide internet service worldwide. SpaceX has already launched over 5,000 Starlink satellites and has permission to deploy thousands more.
