Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The FREJA magnetospheric research satellite was launched on October 6, 1992 as a "piggyback" payload on a Long March 2C rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China. The satellite is in an orbit between 601 and 1756 km at 63.0° inclination. FREJA is a sun-pointing spinner with a 2.2 m diameter and 214.0 kg mass. The Swedish Space Corporation is the Prime Contractor to the Swedish National Space Board. FREJA images the aurora and measures particles and fields in the upper ionosphere and lower magnetosphere. Swedish, German, Canadian and U.S. instruments are flown on the satellite. Ground stations are Esrange, Sweden and the Prince Albert Satellite Station in Canada. This paper is an overview of FREJA emphasising design procurement, engineering, management and operations methods used to achieve a low program cost (14 M$ incl. launch, excl. experiments).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
