After more than four years in orbit, mapping the Earth's gravity, ESA's GOCE mission is coming to an end. Due to run out of fuel in mid-October, the sleek satellite will begin a natural descent towards the Earth. Most of the spacecraft will burn up in the atmosphere but its re-entry will be closely monitored from the ground. GOCE -- or Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer -- was the first of ESA's Earth Explorer missions and has significantly improved our understanding of the Earth's gravitational field. Courtesy Mars Underground This has given rise to a unique model of the 'geoid', which is the surface of an hypothetical global ocean in the absence of tides and currents, shaped only by gravity. It is a crucial reference for measuring ocean circulation and sea-level change, which are affected by climate change. The colours in the image represent deviations in height ( -100 m to + 100 m) from an ideal geoid. The blue colours represent low values and the reds/yellows represent high values.
