LOS ANGELES, May 10 (Xinhua) -- U.S. private space company SpaceX launched 51 more Starlink satellites into orbit on Wednesday.

A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 1:09 p.m. Pacific Time from the Space Launch Complex at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Soon after the launch, SpaceX said the Starlink satellites were deployed.

Falcon 9's first stage landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

Starlink will deliver high-speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable, according to SpaceX.
