GRACE-C
NASA's GRACE-C (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment-Continuity) is a planned successor to GRACE and GRACE-FO. The future orbiter will provide month-to-month measurements of Earth's gravity field to track water movement and surface-mass changes, including variations in ice sheets, glaciers, groundwater, soil moisture, and sea levels, supporting an integrated view of Earth's changing water cycle and resources.
