The main instrument on Odin is a radiometer using a 1.1 m telescope, designed to be used for both the astronomy and aeronomy missions. The radiometer works at 486–580 GHz and at 119 GHz. The radiometer works at 486–580 GHz and at 119 GHz.
2022 OB 5 is a small near-Earth asteroid that passed within 0.00679 AU (1,016,000 km) from Earth on 5 August 2022. [2] It was the primary target of AstroForge's Brokkr-2 (Odin) mission, which launched alongside IM-2 in February 2025, and was planned to reach the asteroid around December 2025. [3]
AstroForge's second demonstration spacecraft, initially designated Brokkr-2 and later renamed Odin, was also built by OrbAstro but uses a larger 100-kilogram satellite bus, and cost the company US$3.5 million. [11] Odin's mission is to perform a flyby of a near-Earth asteroid and determine if the asteroid is metallic. [7]
But Odin’s team said the vehicle is likely tumbling through space, with little hope of restoring communications. Space is hard, and every bold mission adds lessons learned.
Intuitive Machines said it was uncertain whether its Athena lander was upright near the moon’s south pole — standing 15 feet (4.7 meters) tall — or lying sideways like its first spacecraft from a year ago. Controllers rushed to turn off some of the lander’s equipment to conserve power while trying to determine what went wrong.
Odin: Flyby of asteroid 2022 OB 5: 24 December Solar Orbiter: Fifth gravity assist at Venus: This flyby of Venus will increase the inclination of the spacecraft’s orbit further to 24 degrees, and will mark the start of the ‘high-latitude’ mission.
Jared Isaacman is the billionaire bankrolling the mission and serving as its commander. This isn't the 41-year-old's first rodeo. In 2021, he funded and flew on the first-ever all-civilian ...
ION SCV-011 carries SpacePNT's NaviLEOTM navigation receiver, ODIN Space's ODIN-DU1 debris detector and UKRI's SWIMMR-1 radiation monitor as hosted payloads. [201] The STP-CR2301 mission, consisting of the MISR-A, MISR-B and XVI cubesats, has been launched on this flight. [202] 15 June 05:30 [238] Long March 2D: 2D-Y88 Taiyuan LC-9 CASC
