On the 20 February 2001 the new Scandinavian satellite ODIN will be launched. ODIN is a dual mission small satellite for research on both astronomical and atmospheric topics. The astromomical objectives are mainly related to star formation processes in the interstellar medium, while the atmospheric research (aeronomy) objectives are mainly related to processes behind the ozone layer depletion and the geographical extent of the disturbance. This video provides a technical introduction to ODIN and includes 3-D graphics, GV's of production and soundbites by Georg Witt - Professor of Atmospheric Physics, Roy Booth - Professor Radio Astronomy and Olivier vandermarcq - Member of the ODIN project team.
