  • EUCLID Mission Assessment Study
    EUCLID Mission Assessment Study Executive Summary ESA Contract. No. 5856/08/F/VS September 2009 EUCLID– Mapping the Dark Universe EUCLID is a mission to study geometry and nature of the dark universe. It is a medium-class mission candidate within ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015– 2025 Plan for launch around 2017. EUCLID has been derived by ESA from DUNE and SPACE, two complementary Cosmic Vision proposals addressing questions on the origin and the constitution of the Universe. 70% Dark Energy The observational methods applied by EUCLID are shape and redshift measure- ments of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. To 4% Baryonic Matter this end EUCLID is equipped with 3 scientific instruments: 26% Dark Matter • Visible Imager (VIS) • Near-Infrared Photometer (NIP) • Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIS) The EUCLID Mission Assessment Study is the industrial part of the EUCLID assessment phase. The study has been performed by Astrium from September 2008 to September 2009 and is intended for space segment definition and programmatic evaluation. The prime responsibility is with Astrium GmbH (Friedrichshafen, Germany) with support from Astrium SAS (Toulouse, France) and Astrium Ltd (Stevenage, UK). EUCLID Mission EUCLID shall observe 20.000 deg2 of the extragalactic sky at galactic latitudes |b|>30 deg. The sky is sampled in step & b>30° stare mode with instantaneous fields of about 0.5 deg2 . Nominally a strip of about 20 deg in latitude is scanned per day (corresponding to about 1 deg in longitude). galactic plane step 1 b<30° step 2 step 3 The sky is nominally observed along great circles in planes perpendicular to the Sun- spacecraft axis (SAA=0).

This call was intended to find candidates for two medium-sized missions (M1, M2 class, launch around 2017) and one large mission (L1 class, launch around 2020). Fifty mission concept proposals were received in response to the first call. From these, five M-class and three L- class missions were selected by the SPC in October 2007 for assessment or feasibility studies. In July 2010, another call was issued, for a medium-size (M3) mission opportunity for a launch in 2022. Also about 50 proposals were received for M3 and 4 concepts were selected for further study.
