 On the 23 February 2009 at 11.29.55 AM Danish time, Terma takes part in celebrating the tenth anniversary of the launch of the first all-Danish satellite Orsted. For Denmark and for Terma, this is a significant event.

Terma managed the development of the complete mission and operations of the micro-satellite system, and the Orsted project is a good example of how space projects can contribute to a major technology boost within the industrial sector.

In connection with Orsted, Terma developed brand new technologies and functions within space applications.

Terma designed the spacecraft electronics and software, its highly specialized boom structure to facilitate the measurements with extremely sensitive magnetic instruments, as well as the ground control structure to operate the satellite in its orbit.

The Orsted satellite is a significant technical achievement - the satellite has been awarded an honorable fourth place by the Danish Society of Engineers in the competition for "The 20th century's greatest Danish technical achievement". Thus, a technical achievement with Terma's name on it!

Celebrating 10 years in space
 Orsted with its unique measurements of the earth's magnetic field was originally intended to last for 14 months, but the satellite can now celebrate its ten-year space anniversary. The anniversary is marked with a special event at the Tycho Brahe Planetarium in Copenhagen.
