Successful launch of Euclid satellite, ESA’s technological gem

Euclid is an extraordinary mission that will open new pages of modern cosmology by exploring dark energy and dark matter. During its six-year mission, Euclid will map the large-scale structure of the universe to show how it has expanded and how its structure has evolved over the last three-quarters of its history. Thales Alenia Space, satellite prime contractor, has led from Spain the communications system that will send to Earth images of thousands of millions of galaxies.
