South Korea's Lunar Orbiter Captures Stunning Images of the Moon in Epic Detail.

South Korea's first lunar orbiter, the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), has captured stunning images of the moon's geological features using its Lunar Terrain Imager (LUTI) and NASA's ShadowCam. The images include Tsiolkovskiy crater, Vallis Schrödinger, and Wichmann crater. The KPLO's primary mission is for one year, during which it will take numerous images and measurements of the lunar surface to aid future robotic landing missions on the moon. The United States and South Korea are strengthening their ties in space, including efforts to monitor climate change using satellites.
