Euclid is a space mission in the making. We are the consortium of more than 2500 scientists and engineers partnering with ESA, to build the so far most powerful telescope for studying the nature of Dark Energy, Dark Matter and cosmology in general. We have been designing and constructing the two instruments on-board Euclid, are obtaining complementary ground-based data, develop the data analysis system, as well as simulate, test, iterate and improve all of the above again and again.

The primary aim of the Euclid mission is to stringently test our current cosmological model by precisely measuring the shapes and positions of a billion faint galaxies. This ambitious goal must be achieved within a limited budget which in turn sets strict constraints on the overall mass of the satellite and the mission duration.

In the first half of July we will launch a Falcon 9 rocket into far Earth orbit, carrying Euclid – a 1.4-billion-Euro precision instrument to explore the far universe. So why is the European Space Agency spending this budget on this space mission and not, say, 200 million pieces of avocado toast, for example? In fact, there are too many great answers to this question. This blog post will only focus on one: the main goal of the mission – to increase our understanding of the dark universe.
