The Vatican will soon have its own satellite orbiting around the Earth. About the size of an American football, the Spei Satelles will carry a record of Pope Francis’ Statio Orbis from March 27, 2020, the extraordinary urbi et orbi blessing he gave before an empty St Peter’s Square at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The satellite carries a nano version of Pope Francis’ book, Why are you afraid? Have you no faith? – a collection of images and selected fragments from the 2020 Statio Orbis. The satellite also has its own website, from which anyone can follow the mission’s progress. One can also have one’s name inscribed in a dedicated memory chip aboard the satellite: It is a virtual boarding pass.
