SpaceX’s DOGE-1 satellite launch mission was delayed due to bad weather. 
The DOGE-1, a planned space mission funded by the cryptocurrency Dogecoin and famously supported by Elon Musk, has been delayed. 
The company taking part in the launch, Intuitive Machines, <a href="https://www.intuitivemachines.com/post/intuitive-machines-im-1-lunar-mission-launch-update" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a Dec. 19 press release that the launch of the Nova-C IM-1 mission, which the Doge community has entrusted for their mission, has a new launch date for sometime in mid-February.

 “The IM-1 mission Nova-C lunar lander is targeted to land near the south pole of the Moon, requiring specific lighting conditions that are only available for a handful of days each month.” <cite>Intuitive Machines’ message</cite>
</blockquote> 
Space technology firm Geometric Energy Corporation is developing the DOGE-1 satellite, which was first <a href="https://crypto.news/spacex-dogecoin-satellite-moon-q1-2022/">announced</a> by SpaceX founder Elon Musk in 2021.

In addition, the American company Astrobotic, which develops space robotics for lunar missions, <a href="https://crypto.news/dogecoin-soars-as-astrobotic-wants-to-launch-physical-doge-to-moon-in-2024/">announced</a> that it will send a wallet with the Dogecoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/dogecoin/">DOGE</a>) meme cryptocurrency to the surface of the Earth’s satellite on Dec. 23, using the Vulcan Centaur Rocket ULA. 
A wallet with the DOGE will be delivered to the Moon under the Moonbox program of the German transport company DHL, which, for a fee, allows customers to send small items into space. 
All signals that Doge, the loveable shiba inu dog at the heart of crypto’s most profitable meme coins, has already established a laudable space legacy.
