7 GAIA ESA Rudi Schmidt has been appointed as project manager on 1 st July Oscar Pace (study manager) will retire by the end of 2004 Mid-term presentation of the phase B1 of industrial design from Alenia and Astrium (14-15 September) no major revision of the main concepts reassessment of the thermo-mechanical stability Concerns with the mass budget, the availability of micro-newton thruster (FEEP of cold-gas), CCD procurement times. Reassessement of the mission costs The ITT for industry is intended to be released by 15 August Phase B2 should start, with one prime contractor, in January 2006 with a target launch date of the second half of From my slide of the last meeting A launch date of 2010 implies start of B2 in April

8 From the GST A common photometric system should be agreed in November Bright stars will be handled with gates Still big uncertainy on CCD radiation damage, CTE and impact on centroiding. A steering committee has been set up for GDAAS Telemetry simulator (U. Lammers, ESTEC) Simulation of the data flow from Astro, RVS, MBP Galaxy model with 10 9 objects Scanning law Day-to-day optimised GS visibility ( h/day) Compression factor of 3, dead time of 2.5% > Astro = 2 x 1.2 Mb/s 48 TB > RVS = > MBP = > Total = 5.7 Mb/s On board mass storage of Gb needed 8

20 Science Goals for the solar system Systematic survey down to 20 mag ~ 5x10 5 objects Main belt NEOs Orbits: virtually all object observed - x30 better than now Masses from close encounters ~ 100 masses expected Diameter for over 1000 asteroids : shape, density Photometric data in several bands : albedo, taxonomic classification Space distribution vs. physical properties Perihelion precession for 300 planets 20

21 Objectives of the task Assess observability of : minor planets, NEOs, satellite, comets, KBO Set the constraints on the CCDs for the best detection of moving sources Provide operational algorithms for this detection Determine the algorithms for the orbit reconstruction (known or new objects) Provide operation alogorithms for this determination Assess the requirements on photometry for the best science return Assess the needs of and provide solar system ephemeris Provide recommendations for the quick alert mode Investigate the organisation of follow-up observations 21
