"SpaceX Launches 23 Starlink Satellites on Leap Day"

SpaceX successfully launched 23 more Starlink satellites into orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, bringing the total to 5,504. The company aims to build a mega constellation of 42,000 satellites for global high-speed internet access. The Falcon 9 rocket, on its 11th flight, returned to Earth and landed on the drone ship "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean. This was the first of two planned launches within 24 hours for SpaceX, with the second launch postponed due to rough offshore weather.
