MOSCOW: SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched 22 more Starlink satellites into orbit after two cancellations, the US private space company announced on Monday, Sputnik reported.
"Falcon 9 launched 22 (Starlink) satellites from SLC-40 (the launch pad at the north end of Cape Canaveral) in Florida," the company said, adding that the placement of all satellites had been confirmed.
The launch on Sunday was delayed twice due to bad weather.
Starlink is a satellite network designed to provide broadband internet access around the world.
To date, there are 4,200 Starlink satellites in Earth orbit since the project has been managed by Spacex owner Elon Musk since 2018.
