Gaia is an ESA cornerstone mission to perform high-accuracy astrometry as well as photometry of about 10^9 objects in the sky down to 20^ mag. For the brightest objects also spectrocopic observations will be obtained. To reach the accuracy aimed for, the data calibration has to correct for Charge Transfer Inefficiency effects in the CCDs, resulting from particle irradiation in space. This work presents first attempts to simulate the influence of such effects upon the expected data Gaia will provide - an essential step towards the development of calibration procedures.
