The Doge-1 satellite mission, funded by Dogecoin, is now scheduled for launch on September 14, 2026. Announced initially in 2021, the project has been delayed multiple times, and the launch will be carried out by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.
The task time has been clarified again.
According to the project website, the Doge-1 launch date is currently set for September 14, 2026. The original text states that the satellite is being advanced by Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC), with the mission focused on collecting lunar space data.
Doge-1 has remained in the spotlight primarily because its funding is directly tied to Dogecoin. Announced as the first space mission fully funded in Dogecoin, it has maintained high popularity within the crypto community and among topics related to Musk.
The project has been delayed for several years.
This mission was first announced in May 2021, but over the past few years, it has not launched as originally planned. The appearance of a new specific date indicates that the project has re-entered the market's focus, although the original text provides no further details on launch preparations.
According to the disclosure, the satellite will be launched into space aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. In addition to collecting lunar space intelligence, the mission plans to carry displays for showcasing advertisements, images, and logos, and to transmit the related footage back to Earth.
Elon Musk once mentioned "sending Dogecoin to the moon."
The original text also mentioned that Musk previously stated he would send an actual Dogecoin to the Moon. In response to a question from an X platform user, he said this could happen in 2027.
However, it is currently unclear whether this will proceed alongside the Doge-1 mission. At this stage, it is confirmed that the Doge-1 page has announced a new launch date, and developments related to SpaceX, Musk, and Dogecoin typically attract rapid attention from the crypto market.
