Paulsen Torgeir - 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.

Torgeir Paulsen is a system engineer with the Scientific Projects Department in ESA's Science Directorate. With a master degree in physics from University of Oslo, he joined the agency in 1989 working first in the Directorate of Earth Observation. Torgeir initially worked on mission analysis of several of the Envisat instruments during the pre-development phase before moving to the Science Directorate in 1992 where he worked on the development of the LEGSPC instrument on the BeppoSAX mission. Later he was involved again with the Envisat mission, this time as an instrument engineer on the GOMOS project. In 2002 he joined the Scientific Projects Department as a principle system engineer and has since taken up the task of monitoring the development of the payload data handling processing system.
