Sources confirmed that the Doge-1 satellite is under construction and will be launched by next year.

“Doge-1 CubeSat will travel to a “stable lunar orbit” to obtain lunar-spatial intelligence from sensors and cameras that will be sent back to GEC for analysis”
So CubeSat will provide a new use case for the crypto industry.
According to reports, there are no fixed date issues but there are huge expectations that the satellite will be launched by the first quarter of 2022. And it will take place in the collaborative approach of SpaceX Falcon.
It is worth noting, Doge-1 CubeSat will be the first satellite to reach the moon.
