The ESA astrometric mission Gaia, that will be launched in 2013 Q4, has the capability to observe a large number of solar system objects. Gaia will continuously scan the sky during 5 years providing high precision astrometry and photometry as well as modest imaging for about 300,000 asteroids and several tens of planetary satellites and comets down to magnitude V
