Technical challenges and future plans

技術挑戰與未來計劃

The mission, initially set to launch on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as a payload in 2022, was postponed due to the satellite not being ready in time for the Intuitive Machines IM-1 launch. 

該任務最初定於 2022 年作為有效載荷由 SpaceX 獵鷹 9 號火箭發射，但由於衛星未能及時準備好進行 Intuitive Machines IM-1 的發射而被推遲。

Reid clarified that the new deal includes a rebooking fee paid in Dogecoin and places the DOGE-1 satellite on an open manifest basis for a mission potentially after IM-1, depending on when the satellite is shipped to Maverick Space in the U.S. from Exobotics UK.

里德澄清說，新協議包括以狗狗幣支付的重新預訂費，並將DOGE-1 衛星置於公開清單基礎上，以執行IM-1 之後可能執行的任務，具體取決於衛星從Exobotics UK 運送到美國Maverick Space 的時間。

Despite the delay, Reid remains optimistic about the DOGE-1 mission. "That doesn't mean that DOGE-1 is not launching or that it's not happening. DOGE-1 was trying to make it on IM-1 and almost did," Reid explained during a live chat. 

儘管延遲，里德仍然對 DOGE-1 任務持樂觀態度。 「這並不意味著 DOGE-1 沒有發射或沒有發生。DOGE-1 試圖在 IM-1 上成功，而且幾乎做到了，」里德在即時聊天中解釋道。

He elaborated that the mission's postponement was due to uncompleted requirements for the radio and the satellite, rather than a lack of commitment or capability. 

他解釋說，任務延遲是由於無線電和衛星的需求未完成，而不是缺乏承諾或能力。

This level of transparency and communication from GEC aims to reassure enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the mission's progress.

GEC 的這種透明度和溝通旨在讓熱切等待任務進展的愛好者放心。
