DOGE-1 Lunar Mission Gains FCC Green Light

Today, Samuel Reid, the CEO and founder of Geometric Energy Corporation, a provider of logistics services based on renewable energy, announced that his organization had been granted authorization by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States for the highly anticipated DOGE-1 lunar mission.

As per the document, the licensee, Geometric Energy, in this particular instance, was granted authorization by the FCC “to use and operate the radio transmitting facilities now described for radio communications following the experimental program delineated by the licensee in its license application.”

A few days have passed since the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) granted sanction to the DOGE-1 space mission, which was financed with Dogecoin.

It is noteworthy that the launch has undergone several postponements since May 9, 2021, when Elon Musk, a tech magnate and enthusiast of cryptocurrencies, announced the community-funded endeavor on X (formerly Twitter).

SpaceX was held accountable for a substantial proportion of the delays. DOGE-1 is slated to be a rideshare component of the Nova-C/IM-1 mission, a collaborative effort between Intuitive Machines and NASA, as per Musk’s announcement.

It is ultimately an effort to propel the memecoin with a canine theme into outer space; this is an uncommon ideology firmly grounded in the synergy of the community.

This mission notably illustrates the strength and potential of Dogecoin outside the confines of the traditional cryptocurrency market. After DOGE-1 reaches orbit, it will transmit advertisements and images to Earth.

This is after presenting identical content in outer space via an affixed screen. A few days after NTIA approval was obtained, the sole remaining authorization for the mission to be accomplished was the FCC license.

The DOGE-1 satellite will eventually launch into space in January 2024, thanks to this authorization. Notably, DOGE has already initiated a response in anticipation of the imminent launch.

Recently, Dogecoin experienced a substantial percentage increase in price, causing the token to trade above $0.08 for the first time since the July memecoin mania.

Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.0833, an increase of 3.4% that has bolstered its market capitalization to $11.3 billion.
