Odin satellite and OSIRIS instrument
First assimilated products using OSIRIS data
OSIRIS data has been with FinRose CTM to produce assimilated O3 fields. The picture below shows mean O3 field for September 2003. The averaging is done over time and longitude.
Odin status 21.03.2001
Odin continues it's success. Every tested instrument has worked well. OSIRIS has measured the spectrum of Jupiter showing clear absorption bands and SMR instrument has observed water vapour, ozone and carbonic oxide in the Earth's atmosphere.
Odin status 05.03.2001
Odin works extremely well. Temperature is stable and gyro's have been passed the tests. The first instrument, SMR, has been turned on and it seems to be working well. More information from the pages of the Swedish National Space Board.

Odin satellite was launched today, Tuesday 20th of February 2001, 10.48 finnish time. The rocket, former long range missile START-1, worked well and the flight center has been made the first contact with the satellite.
Odin is a Swedish small satellite, which includes SMR and OSIRIS instruments. These instruments are used both in astronomy and aeronomy studies.
Finnish Meteorological Institute has been developing OSIRIS Level 2 data processing system for the ground segment located at FMI-Arctic Research Center in Sodankylä in northern Finland. FMI has been focusing on algorithm development of the processing chain. Private companies CCC Systems Ltd and ProfMath Ltd have participated in these tasks.
