The Hipparcos Catalogue: 10th anniversary and its legacy
A Giant Step: from Milli- to Micro-arcsecond AstrometryProceedings IAU Symposium No. 248, Jin, I. Platais & Perryman, 2008 International Astronomical UnionDOI: Hipparcos Catalogue: 10th anniversary and its legacyC. Turon and F. ArenouGEPI/UMR-CNRS 8111, Observatoire de Paris, 92190 Meudon, European Space Agency decision to include the Hipparcos satellite into itsScience Programme is placed in the context of the years 1965-1980 and in the historical per-spective of the progress of astrometry. The motivation and ideas which lead to the Hipparcosdesign are reviewed as well as its characteristics and performance. The amount and variety ofapplications represent an impressive evolution from the original science case and opened theway to much more ambitious further space missions, especially Gaia, based on the same basicprinciples. A giant step in technology led to a giant step in science. Next steps are presented atthis , space vehicles, stars: distances, stars: kinematics, stars: fundamentalparameters, Galaxy: fundamental parameters, Galaxy: solar neighbourhood1.
The Hipparcos Catalogue 1103 was held in Frascati in October 1974 and was a big success. It marked the opening of a new era where space astrometry was considered not …
