Aiming for the stars Launched from the European Space Port in French Guiana in December 2013, the Gaia spacecraft is taking precise positional measurements of approximately one billion stars and radial velocity measurements of the brightest 150 million objects. Set to operate until 2018 and possibly 2019, Gaia will be sending back information about the composition, formation and evolution of the galaxy we live in, the Milky Way. Scientists hope that the mission’s data will shed some light on some of the basic questions about space. Gaia’s spectrophotometric observations from each of the billion stars will help determine the origin, structure and development of galaxies, solar systems, planet systems, quasars and even asteroids. Built by Astrium (now known as Airbus Defence and Space) for the European Space Agency (ESA), Gaia is a complex two-ton machine packed with sophisticated instrumentation including a billion-pixel spectrophotometric array aligned to two telescopes, an atomic
