The Gravity Field & Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer GOCE

GOCE
The Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE; pronounced "go-chay") will measure the Earth's gravity field and model the geoid with extremely high accuracy and spatial resolution. It is scheduled for launch in 2008.

The geoid, defined by the Earth's gravity field, is a surface of equal gravitational potential. It follows a hypothetical ocean surface at rest (in the absence of tides and currents). A precise model of the Earth's geoid is crucial for deriving accurate measurements of ocean circulation, sea-level change and terrestrial ice dynamics -- all of which are affected by climate change.

With so many nations now reaching into space, and the thought that moons, planets, solar systems, galaxies and the universe does not belong to any one nation.. how long before we unite to form the Global Space Agency? When will we unite as Earthlings? Will we have to wait until there is an alien race to confront?

@jqs1943 Knowing this we can extrapolate the percentage value that matter loses as a weight component of its mass on ascension into the upper atmosphere. That constant is .005 percent of the objects mass. This value is considering that earth's atmosphere is 200 miles high.

Both of these sub fields accrue weight pressure starting from the outer most plane of the atmosphere but in opposite directions. The x-gravity factor repels the moon with an approximate force of 17199 pounds per sq. in.

@jqs1943 Gravity pushes down on matter with a force equal to that of the X-gravity field factor, or .0735 lbs per sq. in. per linear mile. Matter is weightless and this fact can be observed when an object having a considerable weight is transported into outer space and released there, it gravitates within any influential force affecting its orbit. This fact indicates that earht's atmosphere is being compressed with a total force of 14.7 lbs. per sq. in. at sea level.

Sir; consider that a gravitational force field is made up of two basic sub fields. One is excursive and the other incursive. I've named the excursive one the

X-gravity field factor which serves to repel other worlds and to establish their orbital corridors. The second one is gravity which serves to coalesce and unify matter towards a concentric point from whence it radiates. Both fields have a cumulative factor of .0735 per sq. in. per linear mile of expansion.
