Similar words and differences:

• Arbete – means "work" or "job," but with less emphasis on a specific mission or assignment; more general.
• Uppgift – means "task" or "duty," often smaller or more specific than uppdrag, sometimes repeated everyday duties.
• Mission – a direct synonym, but uppdrag can be used in a broader sense beyond military or space missions, such as legal, business, or personal assignments.
