The set of panels below provide an overview of ESA’s Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Explorer (GOCE) mission.
GOCE, the first in a series of Earth Explorer missions, is dedicated to measuring the Earth's gravity field and modelling the geoid with unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution. Data from this advanced gravity mission will improve our knowledge of ocean circulation, help define a global height reference system – which will contribute to understanding more about sea-level change, provide a better insight into Earth-interior process as well as help make significant advances in geodesy and surveying.
Files are available in print-ready version for the following formats:
Backdrops: 400 x 200 cm
Panels: 70 x 100 cm
Addressing the challenges of global
change, Europe is launching the GOCE
satellite to map our planet’s gravity
fi eld in unprecedented detail. As part
of ESA’s Living Planet Programme,
GOCE is the fi rst of a series of Earth
Explorer satellites in orbit, designed to
provide information for understanding
climate change as well as other critical
Earth system variables.
