Don’t miss your chance for an otherworldly selfie with T-Mobile!

Embark on a cosmic adventure like never before with T-Mobile’s latest offering – a chance to have your selfie captured in space. This groundbreaking project, dubbed "Space Selfie," is the brainchild of Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer turned YouTube sensation known for his inventive projects and captivating science experiments. Teaming up with CrunchLabs, Rober will deploy a satellite named SAT GUS into orbit, which will snap images of user-submitted selfies against the mesmerizing backdrop of Earth.

1. Satellite Selfies: SAT GUS, riding aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket during the Transporter 12 mission, is set to launch in January 2025 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Once in orbit, the satellite will snap about 1,000 photos daily, scheduling selfies when the user’s location is visible from space. With limited slots available, participants will have to act fast to secure their space selfie.
2. T-Mobile’s Gift: T-Mobile customers can claim their free space selfie code through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app on December 3, starting a stellar journey to having their selfie immortalized in space. By redeeming the code on spaceselfie.com and uploading the selected selfie, users will receive updates on when and where their cosmic portrait will be taken.
3. Partners and Purpose: CrunchLabs, a key partner in the venture, is offering codes to their active subscribers and those who donate $30 or more to support future engineers through FIRST Robotics and Google.org. Google Pixel users will also have the opportunity to secure codes for their space selfies, amplifying the mission’s reach to a wider audience.

While the Space Selfie project promises a whimsical adventure, it also carries a deeper meaning. With the aim to foster interest in STEM fields among youth, CrunchLabs hopes to spark a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math through this initiative. Those who donate $30 or more to sponsor a future engineer not only secure their space selfie code but also contribute to a noble cause.

As the countdown begins for the satellite’s launch, the first batch of space selfies is expected to grace the Space Selfie website in the upcoming months post-launch. Remember, all returned selfies will be showcased on the platform for the world to admire this celestial collaboration.
