However, all the launches of US commercial lunar landers and rovers planned for 2022 were delayed and did not launch in 2022. [citation needed] On 4 August 2022, South Korea's first lunar orbiter Danuri was launched into space by a Falcon 9 rocket. The orbiter took several months to enter lunar orbit; lunar orbit insertion happened on 16 ...
