2.3.1 spase://CNES/Observatory/CDPP-AMDA/Freja Freja The Freja magnetospheric satellite 2004-08-01T20:05:54Z Freja was launched on October 6th 1992 as a "piggyback" payload on a Long March 2D (CZ-2C) rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China. The satellite is in an orbit between 601 and 1756 km at 63° inclination. Freja is a sun-pointing spinner with a 2.2 m diameter and 214kg dry mass. Freja images the aurora and measures particles and fields in the upper ionosphere and lower magnetosphere. The satellie has been in operation for more than 1000 days.
