MetOp Performance status
Welcome to the Meteorological
Operational
satellite
(MetOp)
page. MetOp is a European undertaking providing weather data services to monitor the climate and
improve weather
forecasts. The program also represents the European contribution to a cooperative venture with
NOAA.
This site
provides up to date status information on each spacecraft and its various subsystems.
