Unstoppable Domains, the leading platform for Web3 domains, and Copernic Space, the premiere Web3-native marketplace for real-world space assets, announced the launch of .lunar, a groundbreaking onchain top-level domain (TLD) designed for innovators across space, crypto, and DePIN technologies. In a historic first, a curated group of .lunar domain badges will be sent as graphics within a commercial moon mission (currently scheduled for 2026). The domain badges will be authenticated and tokenized as Real World Space Assets by Copernic Space, providing provable ownership of their domain badge on the lunar surface.
The launch comes at a time when the space economy is accelerating rapidly. More than 10,000 active space assets are in orbit today, a figure set to triple within five years. Already valued at more than $600 billion, the market is expected to surge past $1.8 trillion in the next decade, with the payload segment projected to exceed $75 billion by 2030 and satellite imagery forecast to hit $508 billion by 2027.
“.lunar is about more than naming. It’s about identity in the next frontier,” said Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains. “As humanity builds in space, blockchain, and AI, our digital identities should be as bold and forward-looking as the innovations they represent. With Copernic Space, we’re making history by literally taking Web3 domains where they’ve never gone before: into space.”

Copernic Space, founded by Grant Blaisdell and Eva Blaisdell, known as Lady Rocket, created the world’s first tokenized real-world space assets, and its Moon Mission I was a sold-out, blockchain-fueled lunar payload that featured over 2,000 digital assets of companies and individuals around the world. on. The platform works with leading space companies and commercial players, creating a new marketplace for everything from payload capacity to in-orbit computation.
“The new space economy is about inclusion, ownership, and participation,” said Lady Rocket, Co-Founder of Copernic Space. “With .lunar, we’re giving everyone a chance to claim a name that’s not just on the internet. It’s part of the space economy. Sending domains into space and turning them into Real-World Space Assets is a declaration that ownership in space belongs to all of us.”
