Future Gravity Field Satellite Missions

The project “Future Gravity Field Satellite Missions” (FGM) was a logical consequence of two previous phases in Theme 2 “Observation of the System Earth from Space” in the BMBF/DFG (Federal Ministry of Education and Research/German Research Foundation) Research and Development Programme GEOTECHNOLOGIEN.
