Baroni Manuela - 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.

Manuela Baroni joined the Gaia Project Team in February 2010 as Project Controller. She is a Telecommunications Engineer, graduated at the University of Siena (Italy) and specialised in electromagnetics and electromagnetic compatibility. She has been enjoying working in environmental test laboratories and spacecraft development in industry for several years, taking care of missions like Cosmo Skymed, Sharad, and ATV. In 2003, she moved to ESA, in the Netherlands. After a few years of R&D in the Technical Directorate, she passed to the Human Spaceflight domain, slowly moving from the technical field, via the Columbus payloads and the Soyuz missions, into management and project control. In her free time, Manuela enjoys scuba diving, including teaching, also in the Dutch waters, murky but swarming with life. From the underwater wonders, to the sky depths, as an amateur astronomer she also loves to contemplate the sky with her big binoculars, when the Dutch weather and light pollution allow. Manuela no longer works for the Gaia mission. Published: 01/02/2013 |
