A few questions. Will this mission be mapping the velocity vectors of celestial objects so we can calculate their path around the galaxy?
Will the Gaia spacecraft have to be kept below a certain temperature? How long will it's coolant last before the craft is no longer usable?
Also, how long do you think the mission will take and how long will it take for the results to be published? What will happen to the Gaia spacecraft after the mission is completed?
