[b]Confirmation of normal performance of Danuri second trajectory correction operation[/b] Korea Aerospace Research Institute carried out the second trajectory correction operation of Danuri as planned, around 5 p.m. on Friday, September 2nd. The second trajectory correction maneuver is an essential process to minimize the fuel consumption required for Danuri's Earth-Moon navigation and to arrive on the moon normally in accordance with the mission schedule. The Aerospace Research Institute was originally scheduled to confirm the final result of the second trajectory correction operation around 5 p.m. on September 4 (Sunday) through the analysis of the trajectory information for about 48 hours, but after about 25 hours, on September 3 (Saturday), around 6 p.m. they were able to confirm final success. The reason that we were able to confirm the final result sooner than expected is because, in addition to the analysis experience of the first trajectory correction operation, the trajectory information after the second trajectory correction operation came out almost identical to the predicted one. As the second trajectory correction operation was successfully carried out, the originally planned next trajectory correction operation (September 16) will be omitted.
