Danuri, Korea's first lunar probe.
Preparations for moving the completed Danuri to the United States are in full swing.
We even made special containers for transport.
It maintains temperature, humidity and pressure while moving, and serves to absorb external shocks.
After moving the container to the vehicle, the staff of the Aerospace Research Institute, who participated in the development, send off him vigorously in prayer for a successful launch.

Danuri is transferred to the United States by plane from Incheon Airport and arrives at the American launch site the day after (7th).
After arrival, you will be charged with propellant for one month and undergo a final inspection.
Danuri is scheduled to be launched on August 3 at 8:24 a.m. our time from Space Force Base in Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA.
Danuri, flying into space on a rocket 'Falcon 9' by Space X of the United States, must leave Earth and fly to the moon by itself using its own power.
It will fly 4.5 months using Earth and solar gravity and arrive in orbit in December.
Danuri is equipped with NASA's shadow cam to explore the polar regions of the moon, space internet, and five domestic observation equipment for lunar surface imaging.
After arriving on the moon, the initial operation of this observation device is checked and the main body function test is conducted.
If there is nothing wrong with the inspection, Danuri will start full-scale lunar exploration starting next year by orbiting the moon 100km high 12 times a day.
