The Euclid mission is an European Space Agency (ESA) mission whom primary objectives are to shed light on the nature of both dark matter and dark energy, the two enigmatic phenomena that dominate the composition and evolution of our Universe. Next Jully, the Euclid satellite, which is equipped with two cutting-edge instruments, will embark on a remarkable journey to unlock the secrets of these elusive entities through 6 years of precise measurements of cosmic shear and galaxy clustering.
During the seminar, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the Euclid mission, highlighting its scientific goals and the challenges it aims to address. This seminar will also focus on the critical steps leading up to Euclid's first light with a discussion on the planned launch and deployment, outlining the pre-flight tests and calibrations essential for ensuring the mission's success.
