Despite having completed its mission in orbit over six years ago, ESA's GOCE gravity mapper continues to yield new insights into our planet. Thanks to this extraordinary satellite, scientists now have a much clearer view of the secrets that lie deep below one of the most remote parts of the world: Antarctica.

We are pleased to announce that all GOCE satellite housekeeping telemetry parameters have been published on the GOCE Virtual Archive.

Release 6 of the GOCE Gravity Field Model variance covariance matrix l is now available on the GOCE Virtual Archive.

Release 6 of the GOCE Gravity Field Model is now available on the GOCE Virtual Archive.

A thorough understanding of the ‘solid Earth' system is essential for deciphering the links between processes occurring deep inside Earth and those occurring nearer the surface that lead to seismic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the rise of mountains and the location of underground natural resources. Thanks to gravity and magnetic data from satellites along with seismology, scientists are on the way to modelling inner Earth in 3D.

Version 2.0 of the GOCE thermosphere dataset is now available on the GOCE Virtual Archive.

The description of the algorithms used for the reprocessing of the GOCE EGG L1b data is now published and available for download.

Ten years ago, ESA launched one of its most innovative satellites. GOCE spent four years measuring a fundamental force of nature: gravity. This extraordinary mission not only yielded new insights into our gravity field, but led to some amazing discoveries about our planet, from deep below the surface to high up in the atmosphere and beyond. And, this remarkable mission continues to realise new science today.

The GOCE Gravity Gradiometer L1b data have been reprocessed and published on the GOCE Virtual Archive. Details on the updated algorithm and the impact on the L1b data quality can be found in the following presentation.

Total electron content (TEC) and rate of TEC index data for the entire GOCE science mission (Nov. 2009 to Nov.2013) are now available on the GOCE Virtual Archive.
