Abstract: Satellite gravimetry is an efficient technical means to detect the global consistent, high-precision and high-resolution Earth's gravity field, mainly including high-low satellite-to-satellite tracking (SST-hl), low-low satellite-to-satellite tracking (SST-ll) and satellite gravity gradiometry (SGG). We summarize the main methods to recover the earth's gravity field from satellite gravimetry technologies (including SST-hl, SST-ll, SGG and multi-mode combination), and review the latest progress in constructing the static and time-variable gravity field models using challenging mini-satellite payload(CHAMP), gravity recovery and climate experiment(GRACE)/GRACE follow-on(GRACE-FO) and gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer(GOCE) satellite gravity measurements. And the accuracies of the current representative static and time-variable gravity field models are analyzed and evaluated. It is expected to provide reference for the study of the Earth's gravity field and its geoscience application in the future.
