Blasco Carmen - 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.

Carmen Blasco joined the Gaia Project Scientist's Support Team at ESTEC in March 2008 as the Information Manager. She studied Computer Engineering at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid and Physics at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain). She received her MSc in Astrophysics from Universidad Complutense de Madrid in July 2008. From 2002 to 2008 she worked for an outreach project called PARTNeR, that performs radio astronomical observations with a 34m antenna located at the NASA's satellite tracking station in Madrid. During this time she was the Support Astronomer and developed data reduction software for single dish observations. She has also been involved with coordinating scientific activities for primary and secondary school students. In January 2007, she was appointed the Project Manager for PARTNeR. Carmen is especially interested in outreach. She left the project in January 2013. [Published: 10/03/2008 | Updated: 14/08/2008 and 29/01/2013] |
