Set for launch today:
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/GOCE/index.html Some interesting new technology here - half satellite half airplane! Well maybe mainly satellite, but an interesting concept that could have applications in other atmospheres, making lower orbiting feasible. |

Interesting mission-extending software patching going on with GOCE:
