Planet Hunting

The CHEOPS satellite was successfully launched (after they had to reboot the entire mission due to a software error).

The satellite will focus on systems where we have already located exoplanets with a focus on large exoplanets (gas giants). The idea will be to determine more about them, especially their density.

The satellite has now made contact with its ground station in Antarctica.

Which is called Troll.

What Scandinavian named this?
