    Earth Explorers

    The first of a series

    As part of ESA’s Living Planet programme, the Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) is the first of a series of Earth Explorer satellites in orbit, designed to provide information for understanding critical Earth system variables.

    Addressing the challenges of global change, Europe has launched the GOCE satellite to map our planet’s gravity field in unprecedented detail.
