An area twofer is scheduled to happen early Wednesday morning — two lunar missions for the value of 1 rocket launch.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 will carry off from the Cape Canaveral House Power Station in Florida, carrying the Blue Ghost lander constructed by Firefly Aerospace of Austin, Texas, and the Resilience lander from Ispace of Japan.

When is the launch and the way can I watch it?

The launch is scheduled for 1:11 a.m. Japanese time on Wednesday. Forecasts predict a 90 p.c probability of favorable climate.

SpaceX will present protection of the launch on the social media platform X starting about one hour earlier than liftoff, or round 12:10 a.m. NASA will begin a dwell video stream at 12:30 a.m. of Blue Ghost and the payloads it’s carrying for the company, which you’ll watch within the video participant above. Ispace will present protection of its Resilience lander in English and Japanese beginning at 12:20 a.m.

If wanted, a backup launch time is out there on Thursday at 1:09 a.m., though the climate is much less favorable.

Why are two moon landers sharing one rocket?

That’s the results of fortuitous scheduling by SpaceX and never one thing that was deliberate by Firefly or Ispace.
