SpaceX's DOGE-1 mission to moon reportedly delayed

SpaceX’s DOGE-1 satellite launch mission was delayed due to bad weather.

The DOGE-1, a planned space mission funded by the cryptocurrency Dogecoin and famously supported by Elon Musk, has been delayed.

The company taking part in the launch, Intuitive Machines, said in a Dec. 19 press release that the launch of the Nova-C IM-1 mission, which the Doge community has entrusted for their mission, has a new launch date for sometime in mid-February.

“The IM-1 mission Nova-C lunar lander is targeted to land near the south pole of the Moon, requiring specific lighting conditions that are only available for a handful of days each month.”

Intuitive Machines’ message

Space technology firm Geometric Energy Corporation is developing the DOGE-1 satellite, which was first announced by SpaceX founder Elon Musk in 2021.

In addition, the American company Astrobotic, which develops space robotics for lunar missions, announced that it will send a wallet with the Dogecoin (DOGE) meme cryptocurrency to the surface of the Earth’s satellite on Dec. 23, using the Vulcan Centaur Rocket ULA.

A wallet with the DOGE will be delivered to the Moon under the Moonbox program of the German transport company DHL, which, for a fee, allows customers to send small items into space.

All signals that Doge, the loveable shiba inu dog at the heart of crypto’s most profitable meme coins, has already established a laudable space legacy.
