Set for launch today:

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:

Apparently separate and different failures in discrete components of each redundant computer system is driving them to create software patches that use the functioning components of each computer to restore operations. Neat.
