SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, January 14 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-12 mission to low-Earth orbit from California.

This was the 20th flight and recovery for this Falcon 9 first stage booster, and SpaceX's 341st recovery of an orbital-class rocket.

According to SpaceX's official statement, the Blue Ghost lander will start its nearly 45-day journey to the Moon once it is deployed into a lunar transfer orbit.

SpaceX is ramping up for a mid-week launch of NASA’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 from Kennedy Space Center, according to a news release.
