Prospects, get ready for a truly out-of-this-world photography opportunity unlike any other! While T-Cell won’t literally blast anyone into space, the company will offer customers a chance to capture their selfies against the unique backdrop of space.
Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer turned YouTube sensation, is the mastermind behind this innovative mission, “”, which showcases his unique blend of artistic engineering and engaging scientific explorations. Robert has partnered with CrunchLabs to debut a revolutionary satellite TV for PC, dubbed SAT GUS, which will orbit Earth and capture images of a Google Pixel phone displaying your selfie against the stunning backdrop of our planet?
The SmallSat Express (SAT-GUS) is scheduled to launch aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Transporter 12 mission, departing from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base. As soon as it reaches orbit, the satellite tv can schedule approximately 1,000 daily selfies by capturing images of locations visible from space. Given limited availability, access to contributors is allocated on a strict first-come, first-served basis.
Where T-cells come into play? As part of its popular T-Cell Tuesdays initiative, the company is offering its clients complimentary admission to a Zone Selfie area. Starting December 3, T-Mobile customers can unlock a unique experience by redeeming a special code via the T-Mobile Life app and uploading their favorite selfie to Spaceselfie.com. As soon as contributions are submitted, contributors will receive regular updates tracking the exact date, time, and location where their selfie will be captured in orbit.
T-cell isn’t the only associate on this intergalactic selfie mission? CrunchLabs offers code access to its loyal subscribers as well as anyone willing to donate $30 or more in support of a future engineer’s endeavors. Google Pixel users might also receive codes for exclusive area selfies, but the company hasn’t specified which owners qualify for this perk.
While the Area Selfie initiative undoubtedly brings joy, it also serves as a vital component of a larger purpose. CrunchLabs aims to spark an interest in STEM fields – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – among younger generations.
CrunchLabs is offering unique codes to anyone who makes a minimum donation of $30 or more to support the development of a future engineer, ensuring that your area self-portrait is safely secured. Your donations will directly support FIRST Robotics and Google.org, driving innovation and empowering students to excel in STEM fields.
Once the satellite TV network launches in early 2025, a primary batch of high-quality selfies is expected to start pouring in just a few months later. All submitted selfies will be publicly displayed on the designated Area Selfie website.
