Euclid Telescope
Launch Date / Time
July 1st 2023 @ 11:42pm
Rocket
SpaceX Falcon 9
Location
SLC-40, Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida
Mission Details
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. It will therefore cover the entire period over which dark energy played a significant role in accelerating the expansion.
