[b]Danuri launches as scheduled[/b] The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (Minister Jong-Ho Lee) dispatched the lunar probe 'Danuri' on August 5 (Fri) around 08:08 (local time on August 4 (Thursday) at 19:08) Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. The space force base said it would launch as scheduled. At the Danuri launch site, Cape Canaveral, the US Space Force Base successfully completed all pre-works such as functional check, fuel injection, and assembly with the launch vehicle for about a month. Danuri will be separated from the projectile approximately 40 minutes after launch, and will communicate with the ground station for the first time approximately 20 minutes after launch (about 1 hour after launch). After that, it is expected that the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (Director Sang-ryul Lee) will be able to check whether Danuri succeeded in entering the lunar transition trajectory at around 13:00 to 14:00 (5 to 6 hours after launch) by analyzing the launch vehicle separation information.
