Scientific paper

The HIPPARCOS mission is compared with other astrometric techniques. The payload, the spacecraft and the mission are described. Scientific data processing and the management and time schedule is presented. The mission aims at the accurate measurement of the trigonometric parallaxes, proper motions, and positions of about 100,000 selected stars. The expected average mean error is about 0.002 arc second for all angular measurements. The total scheduled time from project approval to launching is approximately 6 years.
