Mission Objectives
- To determine gravity-field anomalies with an accuracy of 10−5 ms−2 (1 mGal).
To increase resolution, the satellite will fly in an unusually low orbit.
- To determine the geoid with an accuracy of 1–2 cm.
- To achieve the above at a spatial resolution better than 100 km.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or objectives:
“It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.”
—Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1907–1961)
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
