Euclid Space Mission: building the sky survey

Understand

The Euclid space mission proposes to survey 15000 square degrees of the extragalactic sky during 6 years, with a step-and-stare technique.

• The scheduling of observation sequences is driven by the primary scientific objectives, spacecraft constraints, calibration requirements and physical properties of the sky.
• We present the current reference implementation of the Euclid survey and on-going work on survey optimization.
