VueXR is glad to be the XR platform for first of its kind Augmented Reality enabled NFT campaign, commemorating the launch of Armstrong Satellite mission on 17th June, 2021. The digital collectible NFT campaign was launched by United States Space Force in association with CMG Worldwide, VueXR, Star Atlas and Ethernity.

At VueXR we tell stories, showcase products and educate users in XR. On Thursday June 17, 2021, the United States Space Force (USSF) launched the fifth vehicle of its GPS III fleet of satellites, GPS III Space Vehicle (SV) 05 has been nicknamed “ARMSTRONG” by the USSF GPS III team. Naming SV05 after one of the most iconic astronauts continues the GPS III program team’s tradition of satellite naming in honor of prominent explorers in history, and channeling their fierce spirits of adventure and teamwork to achieve great things.

VueXR in association with WorldwideXR developed the NFT collection. VueXR takes pride in hosting the AR un-lockables. Positioned at the forefront of innovation, our state of the art extended reality technology is exhibited through the collection’s limited edition digital twin NFT of the GPS III SV05 “ARMSTRONG” satellite, created to scale and accessible to its owner via the VueXR app available on iOS and Android.

Coin and Patch NFTs modeled after the commemorative coins and patches typically reserved for USSF mission team members will also be part of the series, as will a groundbreaking 3D NFT depicting 30-plus satellites currently in orbit forming a GPS constellation around the Earth. The collection will, uniquely, be launched on two separate NFT platforms, beginning with Star Atlas on June 14, before it is released on Ethernity’s platform on the GPS III SV05 “ARMSTRONG” satellite’s date of launch, currently scheduled for June 17.

We are profoundly honored to be a part of this innovative campaign, collectively mirroring Armstrong’s innovative spirit with a campaign that takes NFTs and their use cases into new territories. We truly believe that they will change the way we consume digital content, and to bring one of our clients – amongst the most significant contributors to human advancement in the 20th century – onto the blockchain is a moment that fills us with immense pride and excitement for what is to come.

GPS III SV05 Satellite

The U.S. Space Force Global Positioning System (GPS) III Space Vehicle 05 (SV05) joins a constellation of more than 30 GPS satellites that provide precise positioning, navigation, and timing information to more than 4 billion users worldwide. The GPS III satellites add a multitude of new capabilities, including a new “L1C” (civil) signal that is shared with our European partners’ system, Galileo; enhanced signal power for our U.S. and allied military users; a hardened design for a longer life on orbit; and improved security and resilience to operate through the increasingly contested environment in space. Once SV05 completes checkout on orbit, it will be known by its operational number, GPS SVN78.

Rocket Mission Blastoff!

Through partnership with allies and industry, the United States Space Force is advancing critical space capabilities and enhancing flexibility and resiliency for National Security Space missions. GPS III leveraged those partnerships to ensure the fifth GPS III space vehicle was successfully integrated on a launch vehicle and delivered to orbit. GPS III SV05 is the first National Security Space mission launched on previously flown hardware.

GPS chose to honor Neil Armstrong’s legacy as the program once again ventures to new technological heights. The capabilities that GPS III adds to the global mission are small steps in the larger leap of pioneering the future of satellite-based navigation. The U.S. Space Force Global Positioning System (GPS) is a critical national asset that supports national and global security, public safety and economic prosperity for the United States.

GPS Satellite Constellation

GPS III SV05 “ARMSTRONG” is joining the operational GPS constellation that provides precise positioning, navigation, and timing information to more than 4 billion users worldwide. GPS III satellites provide signals that are 3x more accurate and up to 8x more powerful than previous generations! This means improved performance for users around the world and better jamming resistance for critical military missions.
