According to Yonhap News Agency, it is part of the Falcon 9 rocket's upper portion that carried two lunar landers, from a U.S. and Japanese company, respectively, to the moon in January 2025. The Danuri orbiter is expected to film the moment of impact with its Lunar Terrain Imager (LUTI) high-resolution camera.
