The Korea Aerospace Research Institute’s Danuri spacecraft has captured the first images of a lunar impact site created by a stray SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage. The satellite successfully recorded before and after views of the crash scene shortly after the rocket stage inadvertently struck the moon's surface.
These images provide visual confirmation of the impact location, which had been a subject of interest following the rocket stage's trajectory toward the moon. The mission marks a significant observation by the South Korean spacecraft as it continues its operations in lunar orbit.
