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. 

该任务最初定于 2022 年作为有效载荷由 SpaceX 猎鹰 9 号火箭发射，但由于卫星未能及时准备好进行 Intuitive Machines IM-1 的发射而被推迟。

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.

里德澄清说，新协议包括以狗狗币支付的重新预订费，并将 DOGE-1 卫星置于公开清单基础上，以执行 IM-1 之后可能执行的任务，具体取决于卫星从 Exobotics UK 运送到美国 Maverick Space 的时间。

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. 

尽管延迟，里德仍然对 DOGE-1 任务持乐观态度。 “这并不意味着 DOGE-1 没有发射或没有发生。DOGE-1 试图在 IM-1 上成功，而且几乎做到了，”里德在实时聊天中解释道。

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. 

他解释说，任务推迟是由于无线电和卫星的需求未完成，而不是缺乏承诺或能力。

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

GEC 的这种透明度和沟通旨在让热切等待任务进展的爱好者放心。
