As a coordinated procurement agency, ALTER has played a vital role in this remarkable achievement, performing the testing and engineering of the electronic components on board this state-of-the-art satellite.
Euclid's launch represents a significant milestone in space exploration and research, opening up new frontiers in our understanding of the universe. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts and expertise of the entire ALTER team, who have worked tirelessly to ensure the satellite's successful development.
Euclid, the mission by the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to investigate the makeup and development of the mysterious realm known as the dark Universe. This space telescope will craft an intricate map of the Universe's vast structure across space and time by meticulously observing billions of galaxies situated up to 10 billion light-years away, spanning over one-third of the sky. Through this ambitious endeavour, Euclid will shed light on the expansion of the Universe and the intricate processes behind the formation of its structure throughout cosmic history. Doing so will provide us with invaluable insights into the fundamental forces of gravity and deepen our understanding of the enigmatic phenomena of dark energy and dark matter.
