Is the Doge-1 Launch Still on Schedule? – Herald Sheets
Dogecoin is still in the spotlight as the Doge-1 mission, which involves launching a satellite paid for with Dogecoin, is scheduled for the third quarter of 2023. The mission, initially sparked by a tweet from Elon Musk, aims to demonstrate the potential of cryptocurrency for commercial space endeavors. It will broadcast advertisements and collect lunar geology data. The satellite, developed by the Geometric Energy Corporation, will be launched alongside the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
