The light-sensitive area on each CCD detector measures 45.0mm by 59.0mm, encompassing 1,966 pixels by 4,500 pixels. " And then of course there were engineering and other models along the way - 44 of those. " The total number of flight models and flight spares was actually 130, which is really a significant number when you think that for most of our space programmes we're talking five or six flight devices, maybe 10," explained e2v principal project manager, Roy Steward. e2v has worked solidly for more than five years to produce all Gaia's CCDs. Gaia will be sent to an observing location 1.5 million km from Earth, from where it will slowly spin and scan the sky, transferring the data back at 5Mbps speed.Īlthough 106 CCDs were needed for the final mission, the associated development and test program meant far more CCDs were actually delivered to satellite manufacturer Astrium, which is assembling Gaia in its facilities in Toulouse, France. Bear in mind, not every property are the same, there will always be advantages and disadvantages.BBC runs an article on e2v supplying 106-CCD focal plane for the European Space Observatory Gaia, due for launch in June 2013. Such proximity to the nature park is one of the key feature of North Gaia. In summary, we do not see many EC that are located next to nature park and Khatib Bongsu Nature Park is going to be ready by 2030 and with Singapore signing the pledge to end deforestation by 2030, this means that we can expect this huge nature park to provide the greenery sight to residents living in North Gaia. This means that once the quota for second timers hits 30% on the first booking day, any second timer will not be allowed to book a unit till 1 month later. Take note that EC new launches are in the form of balloting and the developer is required to set aside 70% of the units for first timer buyers. The land cost for these 2 ECs are much higher and is expected to launch around $12xxpsf.

The other executive condos to be launched in 2022 are in Tengah and Tampines.

By doing so, one party sells his/ her share to the buying party, hence free up the name and is able to buy another property without incurring ABSD. You can also review your status annually after MOP and explore to de-couple one party to buy a 2nd property. You can also choose to rent it out for passive income. ABSD is not applicable for new EC buyers too.īased on historical statistics, owners who bought ECs directly from developers have achieved strong capital gains/ appreciation when they sold it in the resale market. Using MSR (Mortgage Servicing Ratio) for computing the loan quantum for new EC, this means that you are not stretching yourself on the loan portion. Furthermore, eligible first timers are able to receive housing grant of up to $30,000. Private developers are the one building the new executive condominiums and is sold at subsidised price. Reason being EC is really affordable as compared to private new launches and the gap is widening. Most people regard EC as a home but it is also a product that helps EC owners grow their wealth. Safra Members can also continue to enjoy the club facilities at Safra Yishun such as Indoor Air Weapons Range, Karaoke, Billiards and more. With North South Corridor/ Expressway expected to be ready by 2026, which by then North Gaia EC will also be completed, residents can expect better smoother driving on CTE. Yishun has always been vibrant and when Northpoint City (largest mall in North) was operating, it brought a lot of excitement and convenience to Yishun residents and residents living in the North. North Gaia is definitely not walking distance to any MRT station and the nearest MRT station is Yishun MRT. You can also head over to the mall “Junction Nine” to visit Sheng Siong Supermarket, medical clinics and many more. On the other hand, you can also get your groceries from nearby market at Nee Soon East Courtyard. Afterall, EC is very well sought after by first timers and second timers/ HDB upgraders. Given that Yishun has not got any new EC launches over the past 6 years, we expect the pent up demand.Īlthough to some extent, some of us may feel that the location of North Gaia may be remote from city but given the fact that new EC launches like Parc Canberra and Provence are sold very well, we feel that most people have changed their perception of its location. North Gai EC is going to be the first EC to be launched in the 1st half of 2022.
