SpaceX’s historic initial public offering has propelled Elon Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire, drawing renewed attention to the company’s long-planned Dogecoin-funded satellite mission. The Doge-1 satellite, paid for entirely in DOGE, is now scheduled for launch on a Falcon 9 rocket in September 2026, according to its official website, with Musk separately indicating a physical Dogecoin may be sent to the moon in 2027.
The recent record-breaking initial public offering for SpaceX has intensified market focus on its forthcoming projects. These include the long-delayed Doge-1 satellite mission, which was fully funded using the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE).
The mission is managed by Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) and will launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket to collect lunar-spatial intelligence. According to the website, the launch is scheduled for September 14, 2026.
Elon Musk, a prominent supporter of Dogecoin, previously allowed the memecoin to be used for purchasing Tesla and SpaceX merchandise. On the social media platform X, Musk stated that putting an actual Dogecoin on the moon “may happen sometime in 2027.”
This timeline opens the possibility the physical coin could travel on the same rocket as the Doge-1 satellite. Musk’s social media commentary regarding Dogecoin has historically been associated with volatility in the asset’s market price.
