Space Force: Digital Assets

At WorldwideXR, everything we do centers around honoring our incredible clients who have cemented their place in history through their momentous achievements. On Thursday June 17, 2021, the United States Space Force (USSF) is scheduled to launch 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.

As part of the agreement, WorldwideXR oversaw production of the first USSF Digital Asset collection. Titled “Armstrong Satellite digital asset Launch with Space Force,” the collection features interactive augmented reality (AR) digital assets developed by our partner digital artist companies WorldwideXR and VueXR – both of which focus on creating immersive, experiential content for consumers. Positioned at the forefront of innovation, their state of the art extended reality technology is exhibited through the collection’s limited edition digital twin digital assets of the GPS III SV05 “ARMSTRONG” satellite, created to scale and accessible to its owner via the VueXR app available on iOS and AndroidCoin and Patch digital assets 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 digital asset depicting 30-plus satellites currently in orbit forming a GPS constellation around the Earth. The collection will, uniquely, be launched on two separate digital asset 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.

Worldwide XR are profoundly honored to develop the United States Space Force’s first digital asset collection, collectively mirroring Armstrong’s innovative spirit with a campaign that takes digital assets 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.

Digital Assets: 3D AR Unlockables

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. Originally developed by the Air Force for Military users, GPS provides precise position and timing information for navigation and today is integrated into many different aspects of our daily life. 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.
