G11C:
GRACE, GRACE Follow-on, and Beyond I

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 15539

Session Description:
The US/German GRACE mission, nearly fifteen years after its launch, is to be soon followed by the US/German GRACE Follow-On mission in late 2017. The space geodetic community is already exploring the scientific and technical questions pertinent to the post-2020, next generation gravity missions. Papers are invited that advance the state of the art in the analysis - including new results and analyses - of the data from GRACE mission; that investigate the potential outcomes and applications of GRACE Follow-On; and the full range of technological developments pertinent to the implementation of the next generation gravity missions
