Massart Benjamin - Gaia
Gaia contributors
Gaia was proposed in 1993 and since then, many people have been involved in the Gaia mission, whether at ESA, at industry side or at one of the institutes involved in the Gaia data processing. The Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC) is a collaboration which consists of around 450 scientists and engineers.
The list of Gaia contributors presented here should not be considered a complete representation of the entire consortium and should not be considered as a list of currenly active people on the Gaia mission. A more complete list of Gaia contributors that were involved in the creation of the Gaia catalogues can be obtained from the author lists of the Gaia Collaboration overview papers (for Gaia Data Release 1 see here, for Gaia Data Release 2 see here, for Gaia Early Data Release 3 see here, for the full Gaia Data Release 3 see here, for Gaia Focused Product Release see here). A history of contributions to the Gaia mission can be found from the acknowledgements given with each data release.

Benjamin Massart discovered the Gaia mission in 2000 during a training period under the supervision of Albert Bijaoui at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur. Since 2001, he has been involved in various ground segment developments of Earth observation & science programmes as an image processing engineer or team leader: Polder, Metop (IASI), Pleiades (LAI). He joined the Gaia community in 2008 as the manager of the THALES Services team, in charge of the development of the CNES Data Processing Centre. Since 2009, within the EADS Astrium team in Toulouse, he's been responsible of the video processing algorithms (VPA) inside the on-board Video Processing Units (VPU). His tasks include the specification, the validation of the VPA and the calibration of its parameters. [Published: 06/03/2012] |
