GOCE Mass Properties

The GOCE Mass property file contains data describing the evolution of the GOCE mass properties due to Xenon and Nitrogen propellant consumption since launch, such as:

  • Position of the 'Centre of Mass in the Satellite Physical Coordinate Frame'
  • Satellite mass, remaining masses of Xe and N2 propellants
  • Six moments/products of inertia

 

Data are particularly useful for precise orbit computations.
