About
Odin is more than just a spacecraft—it’s a crucial part of AstroForge’s mission to make asteroid mining a reality. Launched on February 26, 2025, Odin’s primary role is to capture high-resolution imagery and analyze asteroid composition, providing the critical data needed to plan future mining missions and support the long-term vision for deep space exploration. The spacecraft is engineered with advanced features to withstand the extreme conditions of deep space. It boasts a total weight of 100 kg, with a 30 kg payload capacity, and is powered by high-efficiency solar panels providing 250W output. Odin operates independently for up to 6 months thanks to its autonomy features and utilizes an electric propulsion system, achieving speeds up to 20,000 km/h. Its navigation is managed by an AI-driven system with autonomous obstacle avoidance, and it can withstand re-entry temperatures over 1,600°C. Communication is handled via real-time data transmission up to 10 Mbps, and its durability is ensured by titanium and carbon fiber composite materials. Odin represents a significant step in preparing for asteroid mining, transforming what was once science fiction into a tangible reality.
