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.

Reports from Mission Selection - The Four Candidate Earth Explorer Core Missions
The Living Planet Programme document (ESA SP-1227, available on this Library) 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, namely: the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Mission; the Land-Surface Processes and Interaction Mission; the Earth Radiation Mission; and the Atmospheric Dynamics Mission. The 4 volumes forming this Special Publication describe in detail each single mission.

GOCE Mission Requirements Document
The purpose of this document is to define the mission objectivesand scientific requirements of the GOCE mission and to provideguidelines for the technical implementation of the mission. Thedocument is divided into 7 chapters addressing the scientificbackground of the mission (chapter 2), the objectives of GOCE(chapter 3), the observation requirements (chapter 4), the missionelements (chapter 5), the mission products (chapter 6), and theconcluding remarks (chapter 7). The instrument specifications andcritical items are included in Annex 1 and Annex 2.
