T-Mobile Launches Epic Space Selfie Event How to Send Your Photo to Orbit with Mark Rober’s Satellite

Imagine taking a selfie not just anywhere, but in outer space, with Earth itself as your backdrop. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is now being offered exclusively to T-Mobile customers. Thanks to a novel initiative spearheaded by former NASA engineer and now YouTube sensation, Mark Rober, in collaboration with CrunchLabs, T-Mobile users are set to get their selfies taken in orbit.

The Science Behind the Space Selfie

The project, dubbed “Space Selfie,” involves a satellite named SAT GUS, designed to orbit Earth and snap photos of a Google Pixel phone displaying selfies submitted by users. The satellite is scheduled to launch aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Transporter 12 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Once in space, SAT GUS will have the capability to take about 1,000 pictures a day. This venture isn’t just about capturing stunning images; it’s about precision and timing. The satellite will take photos when the user’s location is visible from space, making each image a personalized glimpse of the Earth from above.

How to Participate in the Space Selfie Program

Starting December 3, T-Mobile customers can claim their space in this cosmic photo shoot. By accessing the T-Mobile Tuesdays app, users can obtain a free space selfie code, which they can then use to upload their selfie on spaceselfie.com. Following their submission, participants will be kept in the loop with updates on when and where their space-based selfie will capture the Earth behind them.

Expanding Horizons with Partnerships

T-Mobile is not alone in offering this unique experience. CrunchLabs is also extending the opportunity to its subscribers and anyone willing to donate $30 or more to help fund future engineers. This philanthropic angle extends to Google Pixel users, who can also secure their chance for a space selfie, with specifics yet to be disclosed on eligibility.

A Bigger Picture: Inspiring Future Innovators

The Space Selfie initiative extends beyond just a thrilling adventure. It aims to inspire a passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) in younger generations. By linking this engaging project with educational opportunities, CrunchLabs, along with its partners, hopes to fuel the imaginations of future scientists, engineers, and innovators. Funds raised from donations will support FIRST Robotics and Google.org, organizations dedicated to advancing tech education and accessibility.
