Astrid (satellite)
Astrid-1 and Astrid-2 were two microsatellites designed and developed by Swedish Space Corporation on behalf of the Swedish National Space Board. They were piggyback launched on a Cosmos-3M launch vehicle from Plesetsk, Russia. Astrid 1 on January 24, 1995 and Astrid 2 on December 10, 1998.
Astrid-1
Sweden's first microsatellite was piggybacked with the launch of Tsikada, a Russian navigation satellite and FAISAT, a United States communications satellite.
It carried an Energetic Neutral Atom imager called PIPPI (Prelude in Planetary Particle Imaging), an Electron Spectrometer called EMIL (Electron Measurements - In-situ and Lightweight) and two UV imagers called MIO (Miniature Imaging Optics), one for imaging the Earth's aurora and one for observing Lyman alpha-emission from the Earth's geocorona. This payload, named after characters in Astrid Lindgren's books (the idea came from a Russian scientist ), was developed by the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Kiruna.

Poverina
by: Astrid SwanWhen it's your first time, you pretty much aren't there
they make all decisions for you
when it's your second, they ask whats your name
well I didn't know you like red and hate blue
They want you if you shine like a star
they need you when they think they know you
they need you more if you say you like them
well burn a shine for today
cause tomorrow you're already gone
I hear them rushing from a dress to a bra
whatever will look more like the ideal you
I hear them gushing up against my own will
for selling stones out in the dark for too long
They want you if you shine like a star
they need you when they think they know you
they need you more if you say you like them
well burn a shine for today
cause tomorrow you're already gone
They want you if you shine like a star
they need you when they think they know you
they need you more if you say you like them
well burn a shine for today
cause tomorrow you're already gone
well burn a shine for today
cause tomorrow you're already gone
