Korea Post "Danuri" Lunar Orbiter

KOREA POST issued on 2023 a stamp commemorating “Danuri, Korea’s first lunar orbiter”. The stamp was also issued as a minisheet of 4 x 4 stamps (16), at 430 Won each. The stamps were printed by Cartor for POSA.

The Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), officially "Danuri", is South Korea's first lunar orbiter. The orbiter, its science payload and ground control infrastructure are technology demonstrators. The orbiter will also be tasked with surveying lunar resources such as water ice, uranium, helium-3, silicon, and aluminium, and produce a topographic map to help select future lunar landing sites. The mission was launched on 4 August 2022 on a Falcon 9 Block 5 launch vehicle. It was inserted into orbit around the Moon on 16 December 2022.

On 23 May 2022, the South Korean Ministry of Science and ICT officially named the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter as "Danuri". Danuri is a portmanteau of two Korean words, 'dal' which means moon and 'nurida' which means enjoy.
