AstroForge had previously collaborated with smallsat manufacturer OrbAstro to build Odin.
AstroForge planned to launch Odin mounted underneath Intuitive Machines' IM-2 lunar lander mission for the Odin flyby prospecting mission.
The IM-2 payload manifest included NASA's PRIME-1 (Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1) drill and MSolo mass spectrometer, Intuitive Machines' Micro-Nova hopper, a Nokia LTE/4G lunar communications demonstration, York Space Systems S-CLASS Khon1 lunar communications satellite, NASA's Lunar Trailblazer, a Spaceflight Inc. SHERPA-based orbital transfer vehicle, AstroForge's Odin spacecraft (formerly Brokkr-2), and Epic Aerospace's CHIMERA GEO-1 tug.
AstroForge's Odin was scheduled no earlier than November 1, 2024 for launch aboard a Falcon 9 from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A as a secondary payload to IM-2 in the ODAR-related documentation.
AstroForge plans to launch the Odin spacecraft as a rideshare payload on Intuitive Machines’ IM-2 lunar lander mission in 2024.
