We will present a high-level overview of the GRACE Follow-On mission status, science and instrument performance, and future plans. GRACE-FO has now delivered over two years of monthly gravity field and mass changes map since Jun-2018. These unique observations extend the global mass change climate data record to almost two decades, and allow detailed quantification and process studies of ice melt, sea level changes, and land water storage variations.
