Abstract: |
ESA's 1000-Million star surveyor Gaia was launched past December from
French Guiana. Following a perfect launch towards L2 is has been
commissioned over the early months and entered into the nominal mission
phase planned to last 5 years. We describe the status of the space
and ground segment with emphasis on the complex distributed data processing
system designed to keep up with the several 10s of GB of telemetry streaming in
every day. Apart from the near-real-time processing a second tier of
systems will soon shift into the focus. After years of validation with
simulation data these cyclic processes are slowly being bootstrapped
with real flight data and readied to produce the first public catalog
scheduled for L+31m. |
