ORIGINAL: SpaceX has, once again, delayed the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base this week.
It’s the fourth delay for the launch, which was last scheduled to liftoff Saturday at 12:59 a.m.
The aerospace company chose to delay the launch a short time prior, citing weather conditions.
The first launch attempt was Tuesday night.
Vandenberg is now targeting Sunday at 12:59 a.m. for liftoff. The launch will carry 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit.
The mission’s first-stage booster has been used 17 times prior. It’s expected to land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean. No sonic boom is expected to be heard locally.
A live webcast of the launch will begin on X approximately five minutes before liftoff.
