"NASA's LRO Captures Stunning Image of South Korea's Danuri Moon Orbiter"

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured images of Korea Aerospace Research Institute's Danuri lunar orbiter as the two spacecraft zipped past each other in opposite directions between March 5 and 6, 2024. The LRO's narrow angle camera managed to grab snapshots during three close orbits, despite the fast relative velocities between the two spacecraft. LRO, which has been studying the Moon for 15 years, has collected valuable data and is part of NASA's efforts to expand human presence in space and bring back new knowledge and opportunities.
