2 US tons
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Gaia spacecraft
ESA’s Gaia observatory was approximately 3.5 m high and had a launch mass near 2,030 kg. Its deployed circular sunshield defines a much larger transverse span.
The marked launch mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

- Comparing
- Mass ↔ Launch mass
- Relative size
- Gaia spacecraft is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.12. Gaia spacecraft's selected measurement is approximately 11.9% greater than 2 US tons's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Gaia spacecraft is labelled approximate; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
