\section{Time line}
The Gaia satellite
was launched on consist of two telescopes, which are projected onto one focal plane. The time between the
19th December 2013, two fields of view being observed is 106.5 mins and
has now successfully been placed into orbit around the second Lagrange point. Over the next few months then the
telescope will undergo system shake-down and ESA commissioning (Figure~\ref{fig:timeline}). It time between subsequent scans is
planned that in June 6 hours. After these initial observations the
Gaia satellite field will
spend a month scanning the Ecliptic Poles internally verifying be revisited every $\sim$10-30 days. Over the
data, and learning how to identify large amplitude variable stars (potential contaminants full mission each patch of
sky will be measured, on average, approximately 70 times. The densest coverage is at 45 degrees to the
GSA stream). ecliptic plane and this region is covered with approximately 200 epochs.
