DOGE-1 Moon Mission Date Confirmed, SpaceX To Launch Next Year

The DOGE-1 mission has received approval from the NTAI and FCC and is scheduled to launch in January of next year.

The DOGE-1 moon mission has been confirmed to be launched on January 12 the next year. The approval was given by the Federal Communications Commission under file number 0083-EX-CN-2022. On the same day, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) formally issued the license for Doge-1. Acceptance of all specified criteria is required for the approval, which is issued under the same file number.

Recent reports indicate that, after nearly two years of delays, the launch of Nova-C/IM-1 will proceed, including the deployment of the DOGE-1 Cubesat which will carry Dogecoin throughout the mission.

DOGE Supporters Goes Haywire

As the news spread across the microblogging site, DOGE supporters expressed their happiness by sharing multiple posts on X. The major update came from X user Doge Norway regarding the launch update in January. Subsequently, the post was later confirmed to be liked by Elon Musk himself. This highlights the authenticity of the announcement and speculation among the cryptocurrency community.

The launch has been postponed many times. Elon Musk, the tech mogul and crypto enthusiast, took to Twitter on May 9, 2021, to announce the launch of DOGE-1.

Elon Musk announced on Twitter on May 9, 2021, that DOGE-1 will be part of a rideshare on the Nova-C/IM-1 mission, a joint initiative between Intuitive Machines and NASA.

However, SpaceX, the launch provider for Intuitive Machines, has caused multiple delays in the Nova-C mission. These delays, primarily due to postponements by SpaceX, are affecting the scheduled launch of DOGE-1. As a result, the crypto community is eagerly awaiting updates on the mission’s progress.

Jackson Palmer, one of the co-founders of Dogecoin, was dissatisfied with the announcement of the DOGE-1 mission’s launch date. This is due to his growing distaste for Bitcoin as well as his concerns about Elon Musk’s plans for Dogecoin.

Dogecoin Astrobotic Mission Updates

In another Dogecoin mission, Space tech firm Astrobotic is all set to launch its Peregrine Mission One, which will take physical DOGE to the moon’s surface. The launch is reported to take off on December 12. The coin will be included in the DHL Moonbox and transported via ULA’s Vulcan Centaur Rocket.

Both the DOGE-1 mission and Astrobotic’s moon mission are funded by the Dogecoin community. As the launch is approaching, the enthusiasm both in the crypto market and Doge supporters is gaining traction.
