The unmanned Vulcan rocket has launched from Florida on its maiden voyage to the Moon.

The rocket took off from Cape Canaveral in the US at 07:18 GMT (02:18 EST) and is expected to land on the moon on 23 February.

If the lander touches down safely, it will be the first American craft to land on the lunar surface since the famed Apollo missions.

On board the rocket is the Peregrine robotic lander, which is carrying five scientific instruments.
