Aurora is an established supplier of skilled manpower to ESA and in particular at ESTEC and ESAC. Aurora has the opportunity to expand our support to Gaia within the Science and Robotic Exploration Directorate DSRE. Overview ESAs Gaia mission is mapping to microarcsecond accuracy 1 of the stellar population of our galaxy that is around one thousand million objects down to apparent magnitude 20. Each object will be seen about 100 times over the five year mission. The data reduction of the 100 Terabytes of downlinked data is estimated to require a Petabyte storage system. The processing will be community wide effort performed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium DPAC in which ESAC plays a coordination role. The ESAC team in Gaias Science Operations Centre SOC is heavily involved in DPAC especially in the overall architecture and developing and operating key parts of the core processing systems. The core processing includes Initial Data Treatment IDT, First Look FL and the Astrometric Global Iterative Solution AGIS to solve for the many unknown astrometric parameters. The processing is distributed over five locations and ESAC forms the hub for data exchange via the Main Database MDB. The MDB forms the input for all processing and will be augmented with the output of all processing to arrive at a new version. The production of processing software for Gaia will continue through operations to final catalogue production in 2019. The SOC maintains core software as well as receiving packages from external entities to be integrated and run in SOC.
