Less than a day after its last batch reached low Earth orbit, SpaceX again added to its Starlink megaconstellation on Friday (June 13).

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 of the broadband internet satellites, including 13 with direct-to-cell capabilities, lifted off at 11:29 a.m. EDT (1529 GMT) from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
