SpaceX launches Falcon 9 rocket with 53 starlink satellites

SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket into space with 53 Starlink satellites, the space company said Saturday.

"Deployment of 53 Starlink satellites confirmed," SpaceX tweeted.

The rocket's first stage landed on a droneship, the company said.

Falcon 9 is partially reusable. Several of SpaceX first-stage boosters have been launched into space more than once.
