Every cryptocurrency fan is aware of the famous phrase \u201cto the moon\u201d, which often means the price of assets rising to astronomical heights. However, top memecoin Dogecoin is now actually about to be beamed up to the moon \u2014 literally.<\/p>\n
The DOGE-funded mission to the moon has just received the regulatory nod from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).<\/p>\n
This approval is an important precursor to receiving the final Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license grant, which will address the X-Band and S-Band communications for the satellite.<\/p>\n
The clearance means a physical Dogecoin (DOGE) could soon reach Earth\u2019s moon in a space payload mission orchestrated by space robotics company Geometric Energy Corporation. <\/p>\n
The DOGE-1 mission was first announced by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, the self-proclaimed \u201cDogefather,\u201d in 2021, just before he made his debut as host of \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d Notably, the DOGE-1 satellite will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pertinent to note that DOGE-1 was fully paid for in DOGE to expand the doggy-themed crypto\u2019s utility beyond speculative trading. However, the lunar mission has been delayed from 2022 to the now-targeted January 2024.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, DOGE-1 is not the only Dogecoin-related moon mission. The Dogecoin team earlier this month announced that Pittsburg-based firm Astrobotic is set to take a physical DOGE to the moon as soon as December 23, 2023 \u2014 funded by the community in 2015.<\/p>\n
Astrobotic\u2019s Peregrine Mission One (PM1) will be carrying at least 20 payloads (cargo) from various governments, universities, firms, and prestigious entities like NASA. The completion of the mission will mark an important milestone for the meme coin, with the DOGE community eagerly awaiting the satellite launch.<\/p>\n
As the launch nears, the enthusiasm both in the crypto market and among Doge devotees is gaining traction.<\/p>\n
The same mission is also planned to carry a physical Bitcoin (BTC) in a program commissioned by digital asset exchange BitMEX, which was revealed in mid-May. A copy of the Genesis Block \u2014 the first BTC block to be mined \u2014 will also be brought along, as planned by Bitcoin Magazine.<\/p>\n
