Interview with ESA Euclid Senior Project Manager, Giuseppe Racca.
Since 2012 Giuseppe has been responsible for the Euclid mission, a space-based optical/near-infrared survey mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) designed to investigate the nature of dark energy, dark matter and gravity by observing their signatures on the geometry of the Universe and on the formation of large structures over cosmological timescales.
Euclid will use two main techniques in the detection of the signature of dark matter and energy: Weak Gravitational Lensing and Galaxy Clustering. The spacecraft is scheduled for a launch date in July 2023 and is designed for 6 years of nominal survey operations.
The mission is led by ESA with contributions from a consortium of several European scientific institutes and from NASA and is largely manufactured by European space industry.
