Gaia Data Release 2. Gaia Radial Velocity Spectrometer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the specification, design, and development of the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) on the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, considering the optical design, the focal plane, the detection and acquisition chain, and the as-built performance drivers and critical technical areas.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Gaia's FPA: sampling the sky in silicon

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the expected in-flight performances of Gaia's FPA and implemented tools and procedures to monitor its operation in space, which is critical to achieve the high accuracy needed in calibrating the science data.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The Gaia focal plane

TL;DR: The Gaia Focal Plane Assembly (FPA) as discussed by the authors was developed by EADS Astrium from 2002 to 2005, and the main challenge of the overall focal plane was to allow full modularity while providing perfectly stable temperature and minimizing thermal decoupling between the CCDs area (160 K - 170 K).
Journal ArticleDOI

ATmospheric LIDar (ATLID): Pre-Launch Testing and Calibration of the European Space Agency Instrument That Will Measure Aerosols and Thin Clouds in the Atmosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the design and operational principle of ATLID are recalled and the major performance test results are presented, addressing the main key receiver and emitter characteristics, which indicate compliance of the ATLID instrument performance against its specification and that it will meet its mission science objectives for the EarthCARE mission, to be launched in 2023.
