Gaia Data Release 3
Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) is expected on 13 June 2022. The data will become available through the Gaia Archive. The Gaia DR3 catalogue builds upon the Early Data Release 3 (released on 3 December 2020) and combines, for the same stretch of time, these already-published data products with numerous new data products such as extended objects and non-single stars. For more information see Gaia Data Release 3 page. For information about the current Gaia data release, Gaia Early Data Release 3, see Gaia Early Data Release 3 page.
