SpaceX launched 27 Starlink satellites on Wednesday afternoon from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

What we know:

A Falcon 9 rocket launch took place at 3:54 p.m. on Wednesday. 

This was the 20th time the first stage booster supporting the mission was used. It had previously launched missions such as Ax-2, Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, SES ASTRA 1P, NG-21 and 13 other Starlink flights.

Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the "Just Read The Instructions" droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The backstory:

Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet constellation, has been expanding rapidly, with frequent launches adding to its growing network in low-Earth orbit. The company’s Direct to Cell capability aims to eliminate mobile dead zones by allowing standard cell phones to connect directly to satellites without requiring additional hardware.
