ESA's Euclid mission is designed to map the large-scale structure of the Universe and help us to understand two mysterious components: dark matter and dark energy. 95% of the Universe appears to be made up of unknown 'dark' matter and energy. Dark matter and energy affect the motion and distribution of visible sources, but do not emit or absorb any light, and scientists do not know yet what these entities actually are. Euclid will create the largest, most accurate 3D map of the Universe. It will observe billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years, across more than one third of the sky. With this map, Euclid will explore how the Universe has expanded and how large-scale structure is distributed across space and time, revealing more about the role of gravity and the nature of dark energy and dark matter.
Launch media event at ESA-ESOC
ESA spokespeople and experts, as well as spokespeople from Thales Alenia Space and other partners, will be available on site for interviews including:
Rolf Densing, Director of Operations, ESA
Toni Tolker-Nielson, Director for Space Transportation, ESA
Dietmar Pilz, Director for Technology, ESA
Mark McCaughrean, Senior Advisor for Science and Exploration, ESA
Pierre Ferruit, Euclid Mission Manager, ESA
Guadalupe Cañas Herrera, Research Fellow (cosmology), ESA
John Hoar, Science Operations Manager, ESA
Matthias Maurer, astronaut, ESA
Rosemary Coogan, astronaut candidate, ESA
Katherine Bennell-Pegg, astronaut candidate, Australian Space Agency
During the event, journalists will get live updates from the nearby ESA control rooms to which they will have limited temporary access too followed by interview opportunities with ESA operations experts for Euclid.
Be aware that launch dates may change. If the launch is cancelled on the foreseen launch date and re-scheduled 24 hours later, the event will be repeated. In case of a 48-hour launch delay, we foresee a limited scope event at ESOC. You will be informed of changes via email. Updates on the launch date will also be announced via the @ESA_Euclid twitter channel and the ESA website, www.esa.int.
ESA Web TV
The English pre-launch press briefing, as well as the launch, will be streamed via ESA Web TV.
Registration
Please express interest by 28 June at 17:00 CEST for the European Launch Event, by selecting and completing the relevant form at https://blogs.esa.int/forms/esa-media-briefing-form.
