It was the second Florida launch by SpaceX on Nov. 11. SpaceX launched 24 new Starlink internet satellites into orbit from Florida's Space Coast and landed a rocket at sea in the second of back-to-back launches today (Nov. 11).

SpaceX currently operates close to 6,500 Starlink satellites in orbit and has plans to loft thousands more. The satellites have been used to provide vital communications to hard-hit areas following natural disasters such as Hurricane Helene or in the wake of conflicts such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
