Crypto News- A moon mission backed by Dogecoin (DOGE) funding has moved a step closer to launch with a crucial regulatory approval from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), paving the way for the final Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license. Geometric Energy Corporation, the space technology firm behind the DOGE-1 satellite, announced the project in May 2021, and it is set to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Samuel Reid, CEO of Geometric Energy Corporation, confirmed the NTIA’s approval for DOGE-1 X-Band, stating, ‘The National Telecommunications and Information Administration approved DOGE-1 X-Band (0083-EX-CN-2022 on http://ntia.doc.gov). We have yet to get the FCC license grant which will address X-Band and S-Band.’

The DOGE-1 satellite is unique as it will feature a miniature screen displaying advertisements, images, and logos, which will be broadcasted to Earth. This satellite is notable for being the first to have its entire launch cost paid in DOGE tokens.

Originally announced by SpaceX founder Elon Musk in 2021 as a rideshare aboard a collaborative rocket launch with Intuitive Machines and NASA, the DOGE-1 launch has faced multiple delays. The latest target for the launch is set for January 2024, following postponements by Intuitive Machines’ launch provider SpaceX.
