Heller Cosmas - 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.

Cosmas studied Aerospace Engineering at the University of Stuttgart and at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. After four years work for DaimlerChrysler Research in the field of fuel cell design and simulations, he got a PhD and joined Astrium Friedrichshafen in 2002. He was subsequently working in the domain of thermal/mechanical design and analysis for various satellite payloads (such as SWARM and MTG). In 2009, Cosmas entered the Gaia project team of Astrium in his role as system engineering manager of the Gaia Satellite Mechanical Package. He is technically responsible for thermal/mechanical engineering and the development of Gaia satellite subsystems like the micro-propulsion system, the satellite structure, and the deployable sunshield assembly.
