Abstrakt: In September, the first data release of the Gaia satellite mission was published (Gaia DR1). These data are combined ones with the Tycho catalogue because the time basis of the Gaia data is still too short. I will summarize the published technical issues, comments on the data quality, and the first results as well as comparison with the Hipparcos data.
