The Earth's gravitational field affects the orbits of satellites and space debris, and changes in these orbits provide insights into variations in the gravitational field and associated shifts in Earth's water masses. In a new initiative, the COVER project, researchers at the Institute of Geodesy at TU Graz have integrated satellite gravity measurements with satellite laser ranging (SLR) technol
