Freja is a joint Swedish and German satellite, launched on October
6, 1992 and orbiting at 600--1750 km, covering the lower part of
the auroral acceleration region. It has been designed to provide
high-resolution measurements (both temporal and spatial) of auroral
plasma characteristics. The high telemetry rate, together with the
15 Mbyte distributed on-board memories allow Freja to resolve meso
and micro-scale phenomena in the 100 m range for particles and
1--10 m range for electric and magnetic fields. The UV imager
resolves auroral structures of 1 km size at a time resolution of
one image every 6 s. The novel plasma instruments are orders of
magnitude better than any that have gone before. The Freja Mission
is about the scientific objectives, instruments and platform
itself. Detailed descriptions are given of the instrumentation and
the first data acquired. It is one of the very few books to contain
such material in a single volume, relating the instruments' design
with their in-flight characteristics. For space engineers and other
researchers interested in space science.
