“# DOGE-1 moon mission set for launch with SpaceX in early 2022 <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

DOGE-1, the first crypto-funded mission to the moon, is set to launch early next year following a new partnership between two blockchain companies and manufacturer Geometric Energy Corporation, also known as GEC.<\/p>\n

Smart exchange ecosystem Unizen and DeFi incubator ZenX announced Wednesday that they are in the process of building and launching DOGE-1, a 40-kilogram \u2014 roughly 88 pounds \u2014 cubesat that will provide a new use case for cryptocurrencies. The cubesat will travel<\/a> to a \u201cstable lunar orbit\u201d in order to obtain lunar-spatial intelligence from sensors and cameras that will be sent back to GEC for analysis. <\/p>\n

The cubesat will be deployed through a launch agreement with SpaceX FalconX slated for the first quarter of 2022, though no hard dates were provided. Over 1,600 cubesats have been launched to date, but unlike DOGE-1, they\u2019ve traveled into Low Earth Orbit, which is between 100 and 1,200 miles above the Earth\u2019s surface. Traveling to lunar orbit puts DOGE-1 250,000 miles away from Earth. <\/p>\n

\u201cNASA\u2019s CAPSTONE was set to be the first cubesat to reach the moon, but it has been delayed a number of times and has a current launch date of late March 2022,\u201d the companies said. \u201cThis means that DOGE-1 could be the first cubesat in history to reach the moon, marking a significant achievement for global spaceflight.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Cointelegraph previously reported, the Dogecoin-funded project was first introduced in May of this year, with a planned<\/a> launch date as early as the first quarter of 2022. At the time, SpaceX vice president of commercial sales Tom Ochinero said the \u201cmission will demonstrate the app<\/a>lication of cryptocurrency beyond Earth orbit and set the foundation for interplanetary commerce.\u201d <\/p>\n
