"The Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command selected Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., in April 2010 for Geosat Follow-on 2, the next generation ocean altimetry satellite. GFO-2 measurements will be used for global ocean, and tactical battlespace characterization. Ball Aerospace will upgrade the payloads, as compared to the original GFO satellite that was launched in 1998, with a dual frequency radar altimeter, and provide enhanced radio frequency interference immunity with reduced data latency.
