The mission is to fly around the asteroid 2022 OB5 to prepare for the future mining project of Astroporge.
Odin was released in the SpaceX rocket on February 26th, but stopped communicating 20 hours after starting.
According to the founder of Astroporge Matt Gilich, the situation is “becoming less encouraging”, but the team continues to restore the management of the device.
According to the latest data, Odin overcomes 300,000 km, the calculated orbit and solar panels continue to produce energy.
However, the device only conveyed telemetry fragments that make the diagnosis difficult. Scientists also recorded the slow return of the probe, but so far they cannot explain why.
