SpaceX launched 28 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit via a Falcon 9 rocket on Sunday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The first stage booster from the launch returned to the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean shortly after separating. It was the 11th time this first stage booster had been used by SpaceX, the aerospace company said.

The Starlink satellites deployed around 1:04 a.m.

Earlier this month, SpaceX carried out its 300th deployment of Starlink communications satellites.

The company has more than 8,000 of the satellites in low Earth orbit providing internet and mobile broadband services to remote areas of the globe not covered by traditional Internet and mobile services.
