At the Harris Spaceport Systems facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the twin GRACE-FO satellites are integrated with the multi-satellite dispenser structure that will be used to deploy the satellites during launch on the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle.

GRACE-FO continues a successful partnership between NASA and Germany's GFZ, with participation by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). JPL manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
