Danuri
In August 2022, Korea's first lunar orbiter, Danuri, was launched. Danuri is an unmanned prober that flies at an altitude of 100km on the moon and performs lunar observation missions. Hanwha's monopropellant propulsion system was used for Danuri to stably enter and settle in the lunar orbit. The high-resolution camera LUTI, of which Hanwha Systems participated in the development, creates a map for the lunar lander to land on and takes optical zoom pictures of the area where resources can exist on the moon. The successful launch of Danuri allowed Korea to be listed as the 7th lunar exploration country.
