description: 'Ørsted is a geomagnetic research microsatellite mission of Denmark [named in honor of the Danish scientist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777-1851) who discovered electromagnetism in 1820]. The Ørsted mission was developed by a consortium of organizations including the NBI (Niels Bohr Institute) of the University of Copenhagen, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the Solar-Terrestrial Physics Division of DMI (Danish Meteorological Institute), the Danish Space Research Institute (DSRI) of Copenhagen, Terma A/S, and Computer Resources International (now part of Terma A/S). International contributions were provided by NASA, CNES, DLR and ESA.'
