GRACE Beauty Pass Animations
GRACE, Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment - twin satellites launched in March 2002, are making detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field which will lead to discoveries about gravity and Earth's natural systems. These discoveries could have far-reaching benefits to society and the world's population.

The primary goal of the GRACE mission is to accurately map variations in the Earth's gravity field over its 5-year lifetime.    The primary goal of the GRACE mission is to accurately map variations in the Earth's gravity field over its 5-year lifetime.
