For the final image, LRO slewed 60 degrees when Danuri was 8.1 kilometers away; left, the NAC pair was corrected for parallax, and right, the Danuri pixels were unsmeared and aspect corrected.For the final image, LRO slewed 60 degrees when Danuri was 8.1 kilometers away; left, the NAC pair was corrected for parallax, and right, the Danuri pixels were unsmeared and aspect corrected.
Hard to find, but centered here, you can see a fuzzy view of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) lunar orbiter, Danuri, as it flew just 8 kilometers below LRO.Hard to find, but centered here, you can see a fuzzy view of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) lunar orbiter, Danuri, as it flew just 8 kilometers below LRO.
On the first opportunity, LRO was slewed 43 degrees to capture Danuri from a distance of 5.0 kilometers; M1464309505, 2024-03-05 20:24:05.408 UTC, Danuri pixels 5 cm x 109 cm [ NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].On the first opportunity, LRO was slewed 43 degrees to capture Danuri from a distance of 5.0 kilometers; M1464309505, 2024-03-05 20:24:05.408 UTC, Danuri pixels 5 cm x 109 cm [ NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
