This time-lapse movie shows Gaia sunshield deployment test, the transfer of the Soyuz from the assembly building to the launch pad and the lift off.Ĭopyright: ESA–S. Soyuz VS06, with Gaia space observatory, lifted off from Europe's Spaceport, French Guiana, on 19 December 2013.

ESA's Materials and Electrical Components Laboratory was called in to assess the failure, to see if it was a one-off or else caused by a general manufacturing issue. But during pre-flight testing one of Gaia's memory modules – part of the spacecraft's onboard 'hard disk' – failed. A number of Gaia videos have also been uploaded to ESA's YouTube Channel.Ĭomparison of the Gaia DR1 TGAS catalogue with the Gaia DR2 catalogueĪcknowledgements: Created by Stefan Jordan and Toni Sagrista-Selles using Gaia Skyĭemonstration of parallaxes and proper motion in the northern skyĭemonstration of parallaxes and proper motions - 360 degrees videoĭemonstration of the Large Magellanic Cloud rotationĮSA's Gaia mission is generating an enormous amount of data as it works to plot the position of a billion stars in three dimensions.
