Keil Ralf - 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.

I am a member of the Gaia community since 2006 and i am involved in CU2 (Simulation data). As the attitude of the satellite is one of the leading items for the measurement my focus is on the development of techniques for attitude and disturbance torque modelling. These techniques will provide accurate models as well as parameter identification methods for utilization in the scientific data analysis. They can not only be used to calibrate and improve the data during the mission lifetime but also to improve the scientific results in the post-mission data reduction. At my institute I benefit from the experience of long-time and multisided projects on various satellite missions. [Published: 07/05/2008] |
