SpaceX will launch a satellite to the Moon during the mission, which will be paid for with Dogecoin cryptocurrency. This was announced on Twitter by the head of the corporation Elon Musk. He wrote: «Mission paid at Doge. The first cryptocurrency in space, the first meme in space.»


SpaceX Vice President Tom Ochinero noted that the launch of a satellite to the Moon (DOGE-1 mission) «will demonstrate the use of cryptocurrency outside of Earth orbit and lay the foundation for interplanetary trade.»


The satellite itself belongs to the Canadian company Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) and is a 40-kilogram device equipped with sensors and cameras. Its launch with a Falcon 9 launch vehicle is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.


Last week, Dogecoin peaked at $ 0.69. Prior to Musk's appearance on Saturday Night Live, the token's value climbed to a record $0.73, but during the airtime it dropped 30%.
