Japan’s planned launch of the Kaguya moon orbiter tonight may be half a world away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t listen in.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has a dedicated website for its Kaguya lunar mission that includes launch countdown updates and, as tonight’s 9:31 p.m. EDT (0131 Sept. 14 GMT) liftoff approaches, live video broadcast and webcast information. The spacecraft is already at its launch pad in anticipation for tonight’s liftoff, according to the most recent update.

Kaguya, formerly known as SELENE, is a three-ton lunar orbiter equipped with 14 instruments and two baby satellites to study the moon’s surface, subsurface and gravitational field. JAXA officials are touting the probe as the largest lunar mission since NASA’s Apollo manned flights in the late 1960s and early ’70s.

The lunar orbiter will launch atop a Japanese H-2A rocket from the country’s island-based Tanegashima Space Center. JAXA’s live broadcast coverage will begin about an hour before the planned launch and run until an hour after the liftoff, the space agency said.
