BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — SpaceX has launched another rocket from Florida’s Space Coast.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off Friday at 10:19 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The rocket carried 23 new Starlink satellites, 13 of which feature direct-to-cell capabilities, SpaceX said.

After deployment into low-Earth orbit, those satellites will be used to expand the company’s global internet network.
