Urgoiti Bolumburu Eduardo - 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.

Eduardo Urgoiti Bolumburu SENER |
|
Eduardo Urgoiti is leading the teams at SENER working on two Gaia Technology Development Activities (TDA): the large-size, deployable sunshield, and the secondary mirror refocusing mechanism (M2M). The sunshield TDA activity covers the development and validation of a demonstrator model. This model is used to verify the ability of the sunshield to maintain a stable thermal environment for the payload, and to demonstrate the performance of the mechanical deployment concept. The M2M development activity will validate a mechanism to move the secondary mirror in five degrees of freedom at very low temperature. This mechanism is used to recover the optical alignment for the Astro telescopes in orbit. Since 1990, Eduardo Urgoiti has been involved in several ESA programmes, including the International Space Station, Columbus, Hermes, and X-38, as well as ESA's Envisat (ASAR) Earth Observation mission.
