Two robotic landers are set to begin their journeys to the moon Wednesday morning, when they launch aboard a SpaceX rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

The two landers rocketed away in the middle of the night from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, the latest in a stream of private spacecraft aiming for the moon.

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander launched at 1:11 a.m. Wednesday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the SpaceX rocket before separating an hour later. The lunar lander — part of a mission known as Blue Ghost Mission 1 or Ghost Riders in the Sky — will spend 45 days in orbit and 14 days on the surface of the moon.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched lunar landers to the moon for two commercial missions on Wednesday, January 15.

NASA's Blue Ghost lunar lander successfully launched on Wednesday and is on its way to the moon. Blue Ghost, from Firefly Aerospace, is accompanied by the Tenacious lunar rover from the Japanese company ispace.
