SpaceX plans to launch two private moon landers early Wednesday morning (Jan. 15), and you can watch the action live.
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the robotic Blue Ghost and Resilience landers — built by Firefly Aerospace and Tokyo-based ispace, respectively — is scheduled to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday at 1:11 a.m. EST (0611 GMT).
SpaceX and NASA will webcast the launch, and Space.com will carry the agency's feed if it's made available. NASA's coverage will begin at 12:30 a.m. EST (0530 GMT).
Wednesday morning's launch will kick off the first-ever moon mission for Firefly, which the Texas-based company calls Ghost Riders in the Sky. The flight is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program; Blue Ghost is carrying 10 science payloads to the lunar surface for the space agency.
