@ESA_EO's #GOCE Earth Explorer mission was dedicated to mapping Earth's gravity and provided the most accurate model of the 'geoid' ever produced, furthering our understanding of how our planet works.
After more than four years in orbit, the mission ended in 2013, but the data from GOCE continue to be used to improve our understanding of ocean circulation, sea level, ice dynamics, Earthβs interior and climate change.

#OTD 17 March 2009, launch of the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer #GOCE, 1st of #ESA's Earth Explorer family, to measure Earth's gravity field & model the geoid. GOCE remained in operation until October 2013
