NASA's ShadowCam imager on the Danuri spacecraft captured a view of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
This time, instead of illuminating shadowed craters, ShadowCam captured a sunlit LRO as both spacecraft passed over a patch of moon shrouded in darkness.
The stunt required coordination and timing, as the two spacecraft passed each other with a relative velocity of 7,113 mph . The NASA LRO mission operations team at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland oriented the spacecraft relative to Daunri and the sun to allow the radiator and back of the spacecraft to be brightly illuminated, according to aThe high speed of the near encounter and the exposure time of ShadowCam results in LRO being doubly exposed four times in the final image.
