Seems to be a collaborative, International effort. That probably just never happened before on this topic (?)

Also, the measurement method has some pretty ground-breaking precision:

"The new measurement technique is sensitive to a mass difference of two hundred thousand million million tonnes - just 0.003 per cent of the mass of the Earth, and one ten-millionth of Jupiter’s mass."
