CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (CNN) SpaceX is aiming to launch another satellite into space on Monday.

The company said in a tweet that after completing a test of its Falcon 9 rocket, it’s prepared to launch an Inmarsat satellite next week.

Earlier this month, Elon Musk’s company launched a mysterious spy satellite and was able to successfully land the rocket back on Earth — a key part of its mission.

An astute Twitter user noticed that the Falcon 9 rocket has no fins, and so won’t return to Earth. SpaceX confirmed the assessment on Twitter, writing “yup! :).”
