Exodus Orbitals Inc. announces a groundbreaking partnership with the Lady Rocket Foundation and Copernic Space to leverage satellite technology, blockchain, and NFTs to protect endangered African wildlife from poaching and climate change.

The Partnership

This tri-party partnership announced on July 15, 2021, combines cutting-edge satellite imagery, Web3 technology, and conservation expertise to create a new model for wildlife protection. The collaboration aims to raise awareness and funding for satellite-based monitoring of endangered species at risk from poaching and climate change.

The partnership will launch a space-on-demand satellite mission in 2022, with NFTs serving as the mechanism to acquire and access observation activities for specific areas of concern. Through Copernic Space's marketplace, users can purchase NFTs representing satellite observation rights over critical wildlife habitats.

As a 3rd generation aerospace entrepreneur, I am compelled and committed to create and drive new ventures and initiatives which will transform Space into the most rewarding human endeavor yet, while also offering solutions to challenges and tragedies taking place on Earth right now.
— Lady Rocket, Co-Founder of the Lady Rocket Foundation

Recently granted 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status as a public charity, the Foundation has been instrumental in bringing attention to wildlife conservation through creative use of NFTs and blockchain technology.

The Solution

  • Real-Time Monitoring - Improved satellite imagery provides continuous observation of endangered wildlife habitats
  • NFT-Based Access Rights - Users can purchase NFTs through Copernic Space to fund specific satellite observations
  • Decentralized Funding - Revenue from NFT sales directly supports satellite missions and wildlife protection efforts
