Huckle Howard - 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.

Howard Huckle is a Software Systems Engineer at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory. He graduated in Astronomy from University College London more years ago than he cares to remember. Since then he has been involved in many satellite projects, working in areas from ground data handling and analysis systems through on-board control code. Most recently, he was responsible for the overall software design for the Instrument Control Units of the UV-Optical Telescopes for both NASA's Swift Gamma Ray Burst and ESA's XMM-Newton missions. He started working in November 2006 on the Gaia project as MSSL's software coordinator for its contributions to CU6 (Spectroscopic Processing), namely the Spectral Extraction and RVS Calibration work packages. After almost 10 years of working for the CU6, Howard will retire and leave MSSL at the end of March. We thank him for his fundamental contribution and we hope that he will continue to provide his valuable advice to the MSSL team. [Published: 16/04/2007 | Updated: 03/03/2016] |
