The European Space Agency's Planck satellite was launched on 14 May 2009, and has been surveying the sky stably and continuously since 13 August 2009. Its performance is well in line with expectations, and it will continue to gather scientific data until the end of its cryogenic lifetime. We give an overview of the history of Planck in its first year of operations, and describe some of the key performance aspects of the satellite. This paper is part of a package submitted in conjunction with Planck's Early Release Compact Source Catalogue, the first data product based on Planck to be released publicly. The package describes the scientific performance of the Planck payload, and presents results on a variety of astrophysical topics related to the sources included in the Catalogue, as well as selected topics on diffuse emission.

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: measurements of the growth of structure and expansion rate at z = 0.57 from anisotropic clustering (2012, neutral): “…using supernovae (Riess et al. 1998; Perlmutter et al. 1999; Kessler et al. 2009; Amanullah et al. 2010), the cosmic microwave background (CMB; Ade et al. 2011; Larson et al. 2011), the local expansion rate (Riess et al. 2011) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO; Cole et al. 2005;…”
Gravitational-wave cosmology across 29 decades in frequency (2015, methodology): “The squared signal-to-noise ratio is calculated from a sum in quadrature of CMB B-mode multipoles divided by the estimated polarization noise for each multipole from the Planck satellite’s 143 GHz detector [46, 51].”
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: mapping the distance-redshift relation with baryon acoustic oscillations (2011, methodology): “Our results serve as a baseline for the analysis of future CMB datasets provided by the Planck satellite (Ade et al. 2011) and BAO mea- surements from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (Eisenstein et al. 2011).”
Signature of supersymmetry from the early universe (2011, background): “Future data [15, 16] will have much to say about the primordial bispectrum in the squeezed limit.”
