Abstract
The current standard model of cosmology successfully describes a variety of
measurements, but the nature of its main ingredients, dark matter and dark
energy, remains unknown. Euclid is a medium-class mission in the Cosmic Vision
2015-2025 programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) that will provide
high-resolution optical imaging, as well as near-infrared imaging and
spectroscopy, over about 14,000 deg^2 of extragalactic sky. In addition to
accurate weak lensing and clustering measurements that probe structure
formation over half of the age of the Universe, its primary probes for
cosmology, these exquisite data will enable a wide range of science. This paper
provides a high-level overview of the mission, summarising the survey
characteristics, the various data-processing steps, and data products. We also
highlight the main science objectives and expected performance.
