Excitement Grows for SpaceX’s DOGE-1 Lunar Mission, Now Expected in 2025


(Cape Canaveral, Florida) Excitement is once again building around the long-anticipated DOGE-1 lunar mission, a project first announced in 2021 and now expected to launch in 2025 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

The mission, led by Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) in collaboration with SpaceX, involves deploying a 12U CubeSat into lunar orbit. The satellite will carry a small digital display designed to broadcast images and art back to Earth, which organizers have described as a kind of “cosmic billboard.”

Public interest in the mission has spiked periodically since Elon Musk first confirmed it in May 2021, tweeting: “SpaceX launching satellite Doge-1 to the moon next year.  Mission paid for in Doge, 1st crypto in space – 1st meme in space.” The message went viral and tied the mission to the internet culture surrounding Dogecoin, which Musk has frequently referenced online.


According to space industry trackers like Nanosats Database, the DOGE-1 mission is listed as a CubeSat payload manifested on Falcon 9 launches in the mid-2020s, with 2025 as the updated target. The Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, is expected to serve as the launch site.

Observers note that DOGE-1 represents more than just a technological experiment. By combining private spaceflight, decentralized culture, and a meme-driven community, the project highlights the growing intersection of online movements and real-world aerospace milestones.

As the new launch window approaches, speculation across social media has intensified, with many users pointing to the mission as one of the most unique examples yet of how internet culture and space exploration continue to overlap.
