JAKARTA – The Dogecoin crypto landing mission to the Moon is planned to launch in early 2022. The DOGE-1 mission flight schedule emerged after Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) formed a partnership with Unizen and ZenX last May. The launch of DOGE-1 was fully funded with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.

According to Invezz's report, the mission will also carry a 40 kg CubeSat satellite to the Moon. The company also provides digital asset usage services. ZenX, a decentralized financial incubator, revealed that a number of parties are currently involved in the development and launch of DOGE-1.

CubeSat is also predicted to travel into lunar orbit stably to observe a portion of the Moon's surface through cameras and sensors. Then CubeSat will send data to GEC for in-depth analysis. The mission was funded with an undisclosed amount of cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE).

DOGE-1 will be launched using the SpaceX rocket, Falcon 9. The CubeSat will join thousands of other CubeSats in space. In addition, CubeSat will also glide into low-Earth orbit, between 100 and 1,200 miles above Earth's surface. While DOGE-1 which will go to the Moon will be placed at about 250,000 miles from the Earth's surface. This moment marks a new crypto milestone for global spaceflight.

NASA's CAPSTONE was designated as the first CubeSat to reach the moon, but has been delayed several times and has a current launch date of late March 2022. This means that DOGE-1 could be the first CubeSat in history to reach the moon, marking a significant achievement for global spaceflight. With the launch of the mission, it is very likely that the cryptocurrency Dogecoin will gain new utility beyond Earth.

"After formally transacting with DOGE for a deal of this magnitude, Geometric Energy Corporation and SpaceX have established DOGE as the unit of account for the lunar business in the space sector," said Geometric Energy CEO Samuel Reid.

Meanwhile, according to SpaceX's Vice President of Commercial Sales, the DOGE-1 mission was set as the initial foundation for interplanetary trade. The news came at a time when the Dogecoin crypto price continued a sideways trend. Crypto Dogecoin broke its all-time high price (ATH) on May 8, 2021, at the level of Rp10,338. DOGE prices have decreased by 3.4 percent in the last 24 hours according to a data report from Coingecko.
