                Future

                GRACE-C

                A successor mission to GRACE-FO, named GRACE-Continuity - GRACE-C, is in development with a launch date of late 2028. It has the same objective as its predecessor missions GRACE and GRACE Follow-On in providing continuous monthly gravity fields of the entire globe. The launch date of GRACE-C aims to achieve overlap with GRACE-FO to have both missions provide data simultaneously for some period.
