South Korea’s lunar orbiter, Danuri, has unveiled captivating images of India’s Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander at its landing site, known as the “Shiv Shakti Point.” These remarkable pictures were taken approximately 100 kilometers above the lunar surface, marking a significant milestone in international space cooperation.
On August 27, the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute shared these images to commemorate India’s triumphant Chandrayaan-3 mission, its third successful lunar endeavor.
Situated about 600 kilometers from the lunar South Pole, the “Shiv Shakti Point” served as the landing site for Chandrayaan-3. Since its historic touchdown on August 23, the mission’s rover has been diligently analyzing the moon’s soil composition and atmospheric properties.
Danuri, South Korea’s lunar probe, will continue orbiting the moon until December 2025, conducting various scientific and technological missions, including lunar magnetic field studies and capturing images of potential lunar landing sites.
These images by Danuri underscore the significance of international collaboration in expanding our knowledge of the moon and space exploration.
