Today, March 17 the twin GRACE satellites have celebrated their 15th anniversary. This is three times longer than originally planned and they have helped scientists to perform climate change related studies based on GRACE mass transport data.
Further details can be found in the following GFZ press release (Link).
And a video presentation made by colleagues at JPL can be seen here.
