South Korea's lunar orbiter spacecraft that was launched in 2022 to study the Moon and conduct scientific research.
From Korean words 'dae' (great) and 'nuri' (world), literally meaning 'Great World.' The spacecraft was named to reflect Korea's ambitions for lunar exploration and space technology advancement.
Danuri proved that smaller nations could compete in lunar exploration—South Korea's first Moon mission arrived just as global space powers were planning their own lunar returns, showing how space technology is becoming more democratic.
