Private U.S.-based space company SpaceX launched 54 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on Sunday from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida with its Falcon 9 rocket.

This was the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission.

After stage separation, the Falcon 9 landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.

Starlink will deliver high-speed internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive or completely unavailable, according to SpaceX.
