'''MetOp''' is a "gijinka" interpretation of the Meteorological Operational Satellite Program, a series of three meteorological satellites developed jointly by the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites and the European Space Agency (ESA).

MetOp-A and MetOp-B were launched in 2006 and 2012, respectively, both from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and MetOp-C launched in 2017. These satellites provide global weather data services and improve weather forecasting. The MetOp satellites carry 13 different instruments and sensors, supplied by both American and European agencies. Many of the instruments measure similar aspects of climate and weather, but use different measuring techniques to develop more accurate models.

GPM gains the assistance of MetOp and the many other satellites to track Mizu-Chan down, under the condition that all of the information they learn about her powers will be made open to all.

*Although only one character was used to represent the satellite, ESA is an international organization with 22 member states and centers all over Europe.
