SpaceX launched on Sunday a latest batch of Starlink satellites from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The Falcon 9 rocket was set to launch 46 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, officials said.

As with other SpaceX rockets, the first stage booster supporting the mission detached from the rocket and autonomously landed back on a drone ship named "Of Course I Still Love You" stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

The booster has been used in launching three other Starlink missions and is hoped to be used for future launches too.
