With the last pass, we’re done!

This post ends our coverage tonight, as there are no more communication passes expected with GOCE, hence we’ll have no more updates from the mission control team. By the time you read this, the spacecraft’s amazing flight will, most likely, have come to an end.

Teams at ESA will continue waiting for tracking reports via ground radar systems, and, as soon as we get something, we will issue a formal PR in the web site.
