Pace Oscar - 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.

Oscar Pace was Study Manager of the Gaia mission in ESTEC. Working in the Future Projects office of the ESA Scientific Directorate, Oscar has been Study Manager since the earliest technical studies of Gaia in 1997. Working closely with the Project Scientist, he had responsibility for the technical development contracts with industry, and the overall design and feasibility of the payload and service module, and the mission. The small team working under Oscar during definition study phase (2002-04) developed into the larger Gaia project team once the mission moved into Phase B in 2005. Oscar's previous projects include AIV Manager on Hipparcos, and Study Manager for Integral, Cobras/Samba (now Planck), Eddington, Solar Orbiter and others. Oscar retired in 2004.
