Two newly launched private moon landers have long roads ahead of them.

Early on Tuesday morning (Jan. 15), a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket sent Blue Ghost and Resilience — lunar landers built by Firefly Aerospace and the Tokyo-based company ispace, respectively — into the final frontier from Florida's Space Coast.

Neither spacecraft is headed to the moon just yet, however. Here's a rundown of what they'll be doing in the coming weeks.
