Paper: Gaia Launch Imminent: A Review of Practices (Good and Bad) in Building the Gaia Ground Segment
Volume: 485, Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XXIII
Page: 487
Authors: O'Mullane, W.
Abstract: As we approach launch the Gaia ground segment is ready to process a steady stream of complex data coming from Gaia at L2. This talk will focus on the software engineering aspects of the ground segment. Of course in a short paper it is difficult to cover everything but an attempt will be made to highlight some good things, like the Dictionary Tool and some things to be careful with like computer aided software engineering tools. The usefulness of some standards like ECSS will be touched upon. Testing is also certainly part of this story as are Challenges or Rehearsals so they will not go without mention.
