21.1 Introduction 21.1.1 Historical Background 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. In these two phases several projects related to the space gravimetry missions CHAMP (Challenging Minisatellite Payload, Reigber et al. 2002), GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, Tapley et al. 2004) and GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer, ESA 1999) were funded, dealing with high-performance data processing, sensor analysis, improvement of algorithms, system calibration, validation and related technological issues. During these years an enormous pool of expertise was built up. The GEOTECHNOLOGIEN programme, in short, enabled science groups in G
