DOGE-1 Satellite Will Orbit the Moon Next Year

The DOGE-1 mini telecommunications satellite is scheduled to orbit the moon on January 12 2024 after several days ago receiving permission from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in the US. However, it is still waiting for a license from the FCC to permit X-Band and S-Band radio bands, according to Samuel Reid of Geometric Energy Corporation in X.

This satellite is an initiative of the Dogecoin community itself which started in 2021 and was announced by Elon Musk himself. The satellite was made by the Geometric Energy Corporation and will be launched using SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. Based on the original plan, the satellite would transmit video data of the lunar surface from space and could be captured by satellites on Earth.

This method is unique for a crypto project like Dogecoin which was launched in 2013. Even though it was initially published as a parody, thanks to extensive community support, including Elon Musk, Dogecoin today looks different.

Earlier this month, Dogecoin developers said that physical Dogecoin coins could reach Earth's moon in a space transport mission planned by Pittsburgh-based company Astrobotic. This mission is currently planned to launch on December 23, 2023 and carry 21 payloads (cargo) from governments, companies, universities, and NASA's Commercial Lunar Freight Services (CLPS) initiative.
