 | Jules Verne's Integrated Cargo Carrier is moved into place for mating with the spacecrafts Propulsion Module. Jules Verne is the first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), Europe's resupply spacecraft for the International Space Station. Jules Verne is being prepared for launch at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. (15 December 2007)

| | | |  | The GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) mission will measure high-accuracy gravity gradients and provide a global model of the Earth's gravity field and of the geoid. The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference for all topographical features. The accuracy of its determination is important for surveying and geodesy, and in studies of Earth interior processes, ocean circulation, ice motion and sea-level change.

| | | |  | This artist's concept shows the Indian lunar orbiter Chandrayaan-1. The spacecraft will carry two European experiments on board which are direct descendents of ESA's SMART-1 - the infrared spectrometer, SIR2, and the X-ray spectrometer, C1XS, to study the mineralogy and the chemical composition of the lunar surface. The third European instrument on board is the SARA Sub-kiloelectronvolt Atom Reflecting Analyser, that will study the interaction between the lunar surface and the solar wind.
