People

The experience of our group at the University of Barcelona (IEEC – ICCUB) in the space sector begins with the satellite Hipparcos (1989-1993). Our group has contributed since its inception in the concept of the Gaia mission and design. Our team has a major role leading the archive of the mission and in the development of the simulations, the core data processing and the photometric data from the mission.

The team consists of around 25 people, including scientists and engineers, ranging from software development to data management, its monitoring and scientific validation nd exploitation. The Data Processing Center of Barcelona, also led by our team, coordinates the operation of the heaviest part of the reduction of operational data in the Marenostrum (Barcelona Supercomputing Center BSC-CNS) and CSUC.
