    Seoul’s Danuri spacecraft is on its way to lunar orbit after launching on a rocket produced by SpaceX

    South Korea has embarked on its first mission to the Moon, launching a craft intended to scout out future landing sites on the lunar surface and collect valuable scientific data from low orbit for at least a year.

    The Danuri orbiter successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Thursday night, traveling atop a Falcon 9 rocket produced by American firm SpaceX. After around 40 minutes, the craft separated from the rocket’s second stage and began its trip to the Moon in earnest, a journey expected to take several months.

    Using a roundabout course designed to conserve fuel, the Danuri will reach the Moon’s orbit in December, where it will join other spacecraft operated by the US and India, as well as a Chinese lunar rover charting the Moon’s far side.

    The South Korean craft will gather information about the Moon’s surface and magnetic field, aiming to maintain a low polar orbit of just 62 miles (100 kilometers). It is hoped the data-collection will continue for at least a year.

    Seoul has pressed ahead on multiple space missions in recent months, successfully launching satellites into orbit using its own rocket for the first time in June, following a failed attempt last year. In May, it joined a collective of agencies led by NASA aiming to send astronauts to the Moon’s surface, and is already discussing plans for a robotic probe mission by 2030.

    Other nations are also seeking to get in on the race to Earth’s only natural satellite, with Russia hoping to send off its Luna-25 lander by September after a series of delays, while Israel will take a crack at a landing in 2024 with its Beresheet 2 mission.

    Danuri – which means ‘enjoy the moon’ in Korean – brought six major scientific instruments into space, including sensors and a camera designed to see perpetually darkened craters at the Moon’s poles, believed to be filled with water ice.

    Zelensky’s TV show to get remake in Poland

    By adminAugust 19, 2022

    Broadcaster Polsat has commissioned a local remake of the “Servant of the People” comedy series

    Poland has ordered a local-language remake of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s hit TV comedy series “Servant of the People,” the Hollywood Reporter revealed on Thursday.

    The show, which will be presented in Poland under the title ‘Sluga Narodu’, was commissioned by the Polsat channel and will reportedly follow the same plot as the original series, which tells the story of a high school history teacher who unexpectedly becomes president after his rant against corruption goes viral on social media.

    “This is a hugely powerful script – a comedy, but one that spoke so deeply to the Ukrainian people that it changed the course of political history in that country, and subsequently the world. Naturally we can’t wait to see what the future holds for the Polish version,” said Berkin Nalbantlı, chief of Sales and Acquisitions for Swedish television group Eccho Rights, which owns the internat..
