Popis: The European Space Agency has approved Gaia, the sixth cornerstone mission of its Scientific Programme, and awarded the satellite development contract to EADS Astrium SAS at beginning of 2006 for its Implementation Phase. The Gaia mission will provide unprecedented stellar position and radial velocity measurements. This will be used to produce a three-dimensional map of about one billion stars in our Galaxy and beyond. The most prominent feature of the Gaia satellite is the high precision payload, which is fully developed by EADS Astrium SAS. The paper is devoted to the payload description.
