While reading this http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1008/29goce/ I noticed In the meantime, engineers at the European Space Operations Center have commanded GOCE's ion engine to boost the spacecraft's orbit by about 10 kilometers. Officials say the maneuver is a hedge against a further computer failure that could affect the satellite's navigation and piloting functions Looking at the orbital data, the orbit has been changing.
