July 22 (UPI) — SpaceX, the space exploration company led by controversial billionaire Elon Musk, is set to launch more Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on Sunday following the cancellation of Saturday’s mission.

The company is now aiming for a Falcon 9 launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, as stated in a news release from SpaceX.

Due to weather conditions, the launch of 22 satellites into low-Earth orbit was postponed multiple times on Saturday according to a SpaceX tweet.

In addition to Sunday night, there are seven backup opportunities available until Monday night.

The first-stage booster of the Falcon 9 rocket is expected to land on a barge named Just Read the Instructions.

SpaceX has been regularly delivering payloads to space.

Earlier this week, SpaceX launched 15 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
