By the Numbers
Korea's first lunar satellite, Danuri, will examine a piece of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket expected to crash into the moon this week. The rocket part is expected to hit the Einstein Crater in the northwest part of the moon. Danuri will film the impact with its high-resolution Lunar Terrain Imager (LUTI) camera.
This examination, conducted by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), will provide valuable information about the moon's surface and impact mechanism. Danuri is part of the upper stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that carried two lunar landers to the moon in January 2025.
The event offers a significant opportunity for space research and the study of the moon's surface.
