This is Dataset Version 3 - Updates may be done following feedback from the machine learning community.
Dataset Description
This dataset contains 327 time series corresponding to the temporal values of 327 telemetry parameters over the life of the real GOCE satellite (from March 2009 to October 2013). It consists both the raw data and Machine-Learning ready-to-use resampled data:
- The raw values (calibrated values of each parameter) as
{param}_raw.parquet
files (irregular) - Resampled and popular statistics computed over 10-minutes windows for each parameter as
{param}_stats_10min.parquet
files. - Resampled and popular statistics computed over 6-hours windows for each parameter as
{param}_stats_6h.parquet
- metadata.csv list of all parameters with description, subsystem, first and last timestamp where a value is recorded, fraction of NaN in the calculated statistics and the longest data gap.
- mass_properties.csv: provides information relative to the satellite mass (for example the remaining fuel on-board).
Why is it a good dataset for time series forecasting?
- Real-world: the data originates from a real-world complex engineering system
- Many variables: 327 allowing for multivariate time series forecasting.
- Variables having engineering values and units (Volt, Ampere, bar, m, m/s, etc...). See the metadata
- Different and irregular sampling rates: some parameters have a value recorded every second, other have a value recorded at a lower sampling rate such as every 16 or 32s. This is a challenge often encountered in real-world systems with sensor records that complexity the data pipelines, and input data fed into your models. If you want to start easy, work with the 10min or 6h resampled files.
- Missing Data and Large Gaps: you'll have to drop many parameters which have too much missing data, and carefully design and test you data processing, model training, and model evaluation strategy.
- Suggested task 1: forecast 24 hrs ahead the 10-min last value given historical data
- Suggested task 2: forecast 7 days ahead the 6-hour last value given historical data

About the GOCE Satellite
The Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE; pronounced ‘go-chay’), is a scientific mission satellite from the European Space Agency (ESA).
Objectives
GOCE's primary mission objective was to provide an accurate and detailed global model of Earth's gravity field and geoid. For this purpose, it is equipped with a state-of-the-art Gravity Gradiometer and precise tracking system.
Payloads
The satellite's main payload was the Electrostatic Gravity Gradiometer (EGG) to measure the gravity field of Earth. Other payload was an onboard GPS receiver used as a Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking Instrument (SSTI); a compensation system for all non-gravitational forces acting on the spacecraft. The satellite was also equipped with a laser retroreflector to enable tracking by ground-based Satellite laser ranging station.
The satellite's unique arrow shape and fins helped keep GOCE stable as it flew through the thermosphere at a comparatively low altitude of 255 kilometres (158 mi). Additionally, an ion propulsion system continuously compensated for the variable deceleration due to air drag without the vibration of a conventional chemically powered rocket engine, thus limiting the errors in gravity gradient measurements caused by non-gravitational forces and restoring the path of the craft as closely as possible to a purely inertial trajectory.
Thermal considerations
Due to the orbit and satellite configuration, the solar panels experienced extreme temperature variations. The design therefore had to include materials that could tolerate temperatures as high as 160 degC and as low as -170 degC.
Due to its stringent temperature stability requirements (for the gradiometer sensor heads, in the range of milli-Kelvin) the gradiometer was thermally decoupled from the satellite and had its own dedicated thermal-control system.
Mission Operations
Flight operations were conducted from the European Space Operations Centre, based in Darmstadt, Germany.
It was launched on 17 March 2009 and came to and end of mission on 21 October 2013 because it ran out of propellant. As planned, the satellite began dropping out of orbit and made an uncontrolled re-entry on 11 November 2013
Orbit
GOCE used a Sun-synchronous orbit with an inclindation of 96.7 degree, a mean altitude of approximately 263 km, an orbital period of 90 minutes, and a mean local solar time at ascending node of 18:00.
