GOCE

A video by ESA regarding the GOCE (Gravity Field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer)mission. Date- 08 08 08. Source- http://www.esa.int/esa-mmg/mmg.pl?type=V&single=y&mission=GOCE&st...

'ESA's GOCE mission is dedicated to measuring the Earth's gravity field and modelling the geoid with unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution. GOCE is the first in a series of research missions known as Earth Explorers. Driven by the needs of the scientific community, Earth Explorers will provide the data to help understand critical Earth system variables and put Europe in pole position on Earth observation in the coming years.

GOCE is due for launch in September 2008 on a Russian Rockot vehicle -- a converted SS-19 Russian Intercontinental Ballistic Missile -- from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia.

All the data collected by GOCE will go towards creating a global gravity-field map with a level of accuracy never before available. ESA has developed an internet interface that will make these data easily and quickly available to scientists and researchers.'

The scan was finished about a month ago. The word is "debris", but your point about other magnetic activities is well-taken, here, two years into the future. Now we have HAARP scalar energy that is disrupting the entire magnetosphere and inducing earthquakes all over the planet.

I hope they are integrating these interior observations with those of exterior influences like Leonid Space debree, comets, other planet position changes and magnetic activities. Lots of Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and other climate changes coming up we need to prepare for.

good luck

Don't mess with the noodly appendages of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

oil can?

How long will the global scan take?

[evergreencreativeart]

Nice; will it be easy to see this in orbit?

Cool..go Europe!
