The Four Candidate Earth Explorer Core Missions - GOCE
The Living Planet Programme document (ESA SP-1227, available to be ordered on this Library in the General Information section) describes the plans for the Agency's new strategy for Earth Observation in the post-2000 time frame. Out of the nine Earth Explorer Core Missions identified in 1996, four Core Missions were selected for Phase-A studies, which began in 1998. In particular this is volume 1 describing in detail the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Mission.
