## **IPFS to Launch Into Space**
## **Register for IPFS Thing 2023**
![](../assets/1-r0chmfcopebcnhpocykdpw-2.png)
We’re only a few weeks away from this year’s week-long gathering for the IPFS implementors community. [IPFS Thing 2023](https://2023.ipfs-thing.io/) is happening from **April 15-19 in Brussels, Belgium** and will include everything from talks, workshops, discussion circles, hacking time, and more — all focused on advancing IPFS implementations.
The Filecoin Foundation [**announced**](https://twitter.com/IPFS/status/1616110027261227009?s=20&t=fv3FslvX-vH59U0lkAn4nw) a first-of-its-kind mission to [**send IPFS into space**](https://fil.org/blog/ff-x-lockheed-martin-mission-announcement/) in 2023. The mission will happen aboard Lockheed Martin’s LM 400 Technology Demonstrator spacecraft, a “software-defined satellite” that is created to support numerous missions. After the spacecraft is in orbit, it will use its “SmartSat™ software-defined satellite technology to upload and perform the IPFS demonstration.” This mission will showcase how IPFS uses content addressing to speed up data transfer across long distances.
Grab your tickets today before time runs out! Use code “THING23” at checkout by March 31 to get them for only $299.
For those attending, you can also [submit a talk or track online.](https://2023.ipfs-thing.io/submit/)
