Odin
is a Swedish-led joint astronomy/aeronomy mission with
participation from Canada, Finland and France.
Odin
is a dual-mission small satellite for research of both
astronomical and atmospheric topics. The scientific goals were set
by a group of scientists from the participating countries, called
the Odin Science Team. The main part of the project cost is
carried by Sweden and SNSB thus has the overall project
responsibility, supported by CSA of Canada, TEKES of Finland, and
CNES of France. SNSB has entrusted the Swedish Space Corporation
with the implementation of the project.
