| Abstract: |
The overall goals and organisation of the Gaia mission are described: the role of the scientific community in the project; the organisation, structure, and goals of the scientific working groups; their interaction and influence on the satellite and payload design; the overall project schedule; the organisation and overall approach to the challenges of the data analysis; and the mission data products and their estimated release dates. Some of the potential for education and outreach activities are noted. |
