ShadowCam

ShadowCam, an instrument generously funded by NASA, is proudly hosted onboard the esteemed Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) satellite. Its incredible ability to capture high-resolution images of the Moon's enigmatic permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) will serve as a beacon of knowledge, shedding light on the distribution and accessibility of water ice and other valuable volatiles. With its impressive spatial scales, boasting a remarkable resolution of 1.7 meters per pixel, ShadowCam is poised to minimize risks and unlock the full potential of future exploration endeavors.
