SpaceX launched more Starlink satellites on two missions 24 hours apart. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 10:35 pm EDT Wednesday (0235 GMT Thursday) and deployed 23 Starlink satellites. SpaceX revealed earlier this week that it now has more than three million users of its broadband constellation.

The launch took place five years to the day after the first Falcon 9 launch dedicated to Starlink satellites. SpaceX has conducted more than 160 Starlink launches to date, more than half of which have taken place since the start of last year.
