NASA Mass Change mission
E648469
The NASA Mass Change mission is a planned Earth System Observatory satellite focused on precisely measuring variations in Earth’s mass distribution, such as changes in ice sheets, groundwater, and oceans, to improve understanding of climate and water cycle dynamics.
