NET January 15 Falcon 9 • ‘Ghost Riders in the Sky’Launch time: 1:11 a.m. EST (0611 UTC)Launch site: Launch Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center, FloridaA SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a pair of lunar landers to begin independent journeys to the Moon. The primary payload is Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander. It will carry 10 science payloads from NASA as part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. The ‘Ghost Riders in the Sky’ mission will target a landing at Mare Crisium, near Mons Latreille, in early March. Japan-based ispace’s Resilience lander will also travel to the Moon as a secondary payload on the Falcon 9 rocket. It will take between four and five months before making its landing attempt near the center of Mare Frigoris. It too caries a number of payloads, including the Tenacious micro rover.
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, January 8 for a Falcon 9 launch of 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 10:27 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 2:17 p.m. ET. If needed, additional launch opportunities are also available on Thursday, January 9 starting at 9:59 a.m. ET.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the third flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched GOES-U and a Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
