Description

Canada participated in the mission through the Canadian Space Agency. The satellite has been used to study Earth’s atmosphere and long-term climate-related changes. Canada’s involvement included a major instrument contribution, supporting atmospheric measurements. Although originally planned for a shorter mission, Odin continued operating far beyond its initial timeline.
