MOSCOW, March 16 (UPI) -- The launch of Europe's Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer was delayed Monday due to a technical glitch, space officials said.
The European Space Agency said the problem was identified and solved. The launch from Russia's Plesetsk space center was rescheduled for Tuesday.

RIA Novosti said the GOCE satellite, which is designed to measure Earth's gravitational field, will be carried by a Russian Rockot carrier rocket -- a modified version of the Russian RS-18 intercontinental ballistic missile.
