Satellite orbit determination using satellite gravity gradiometry observations in GOCE mission perspective [PDF]
Between the years 2004 and 2005 the launch of the first gradiometric satellite is planned. This satellite will be an important element of the Gravity Field and Steady – State Ocean Circulation Explorer Mission (GOCE).
