EE9 Call "E2.motion" (2016)
In contrast to E.motion the E2.motion mission concept was based on a dual GRACE-like pair where the second pair should have been flown on an inclined orbit (so called “Bender configuration”). The proposal was not accepted due to too high implementation cost but can be seen as a milestone towards realization of MAGIC. The final report is available here.
