The Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC) is a group of over 300 European scientists and software engineers formed with the objective to design, develop and execute the data processing system for ESA's ambitious Gaia space astrometry mission. At a meeting in Paris on 24-25 May, ESA's Science Programme Committee (SPC) approved the DPAC proposal submitted in response to the Announcement of Opportunity for the Gaia data processing issued in November 2006. The proposal describes a complete data processing system capable of handling the full size and complexity of the Gaia data within the mission schedule. Following the SPC approval the DPAC is officially responsible for all Gaia data processing activities.
