The aim of the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Mission(GOCE) Mission is to provide global and regional models of the Earth's gravity field and of the geoid, its reference equipotential surface, with high spatial resolution and accuracy.... In oceanography... it would contribute to the correction of a major deficiency which is the lack of an accurate and precise reference surface for the interpretation of the mean sea level as mapped by satellite altimetry. 2, record 1, English, - steady%2Dstate%20ocean%20circulation

EOEP implements Earth Explorer core and opportunity missions and also funds mission exploitation, instrument predevelopment and support for market development. Earth explorer missions such as Cryosat, the Gravity field and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer(GOCE), the Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity(SMOS) and the initiation of full implementation of the Atmospheric Dynamics Mission(ADM-Aeolus) are major achievements of the first phase of this programme. The second phase, EOEP-2, will give the Earth Science community and industry a stable outlook in which one new mission will be launched every year. It will also cover preparation of Earth Watch missions. 1, record 2, English, - Earth%20Observation%20Envelope%20Programme

L'EOEP met en œuvre les missions d'exploration de la Terre de l'ESA dites de base ou de circonstance, finance l'exploitation de ces missions et le prédéveloppement d'instruments, et apporte un soutien au développement du marché. La première phase de ce programme a permis d'obtenir de grands succès avec la mise au point de missions d'exploration de la Terre comme Cryosat, la Mission Gravité et circulation océanique en régime stable (GOCE), la Mission d'étude de l'humidité des sols et de la salinité des océans (SMOS) et le début de la mise en œuvre complète de la Mission d'étude de dynamique de l'atmosphère (ADM-Aeolus). La deuxième phase du programme (EOEP-2) offrira à la recherche en sciences de la Terre comme à l'industrie un horizon stable, avec le lancement d'une nouvelle mission chaque année. Ce programme permettra également de préparer des missions de surveillance de la Terre. 1, record 2, French, - Programme%2Denveloppe%20d%27observation%20de%20la%20Terre
