NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Captures Images of South Korea's Danuri Orbiter

The high-speed photography event occurred as the two satellites orbited the moon, showcasing NASA's precision in space imaging.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) successfully photographed South Korea's Danuri spacecraft as it passed by at speeds of 11,500 km/h.
The images captured show Danuri appearing as a 'surfboard' due to its high relative velocity and short exposure time of the camera.
This event marks a significant display of international cooperation in space exploration, with NASA providing key technology for the Danuri mission.
Danuri, South Korea's first lunar orbiter, is equipped with instruments to map the moon's surface and identify valuable resources.
The precise timing and technical capability of NASA's LRO were crucial in capturing these high-speed images of Danuri.
