Euclid is an ESA mission to map the geometry of the Universe and better understand the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the energy budget of the cosmos.

Jan 24, 2023 · Euclid is an ambitious ESA mission to investigate the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structures over the last 10 billion years of cosmic history. It is a space telescope with instruments that can detect visible and near-infrared radiation.

Sep 1, 2019 · Euclid Mapping the geometry of the dark Universe: Theme: How did the Universe originate and what is it made of? Primary Goal: To understand the nature of dark energy and dark matter by accurate measurement of the accelerated expansion of the Universe through different independent methods. Targets: Galaxies and clusters of galaxies out to z~2,

Euclid is an ESA mission to map the geometry of the Universe and better understand the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the energy budget of the cosmos.

Euclid is an ESA medium class astronomy and astrophysics space mission. ESA selected Thales Alenia Space as prime contractor for the construction of the satellite and its Service Module, with Airbus Defence and Space chosen to develop the Payload Module, including the telescope.

Oct 31, 2019 · Euclid is a medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to investigate the expansion of our Universe over the past ten billion years, probing cosmic epochs from before the expansion started to accelerate, all the way to the present.

Oct 29, 2019 · Euclid is an ESA mission to map the geometry of the dark Universe. The mission will investigate the distance-redshift relationship and the evolution of cosmic structures. It achieves this by measuring shapes and redshifts of galaxies and clusters of galaxies out to redshifts ~2, or equivalently to a look-back time of 10 billion years.

Jun 25, 2020 · Euclid is a space telescope that will image billions of galaxies out to a distance of 10 billion light years across more than a third of the sky. This will allow astronomers to measure the expansion history of the Universe and the growth rate of cosmic structures.

Sep 1, 2019 · This technical review report for the Euclid candidate mission presents the outcome of ESA's internal review of this M-class candidate mission in the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 plan. The review was concluded at the end of the mission assessment phase and carried out in frame of the down-selection to 3 or 4 M-class missions, which will proceed to ...

Sep 1, 2019 · This report, the so-called Red Book, describes the outcome of the mission definition study (Phase A) for the Euclid mission. Link to publication Last Update: Sep 1, 2019 8:44:18 AM
