ABSTRACT
Falcon ODIN is a technology demonstration science payload being designed for delivery to the International Space Station (ISS) in late 2024. Falcon ODIN contains two event based cameras (EBC) and two traditional framing cameras along with mirrors mounted on azimuth elevation rotation stages which allow the field of regard of the EBCs to move. We discuss the mission design and objectives for Falcon ODIN along with ground-based testing of all four cameras.
