Origin[]
Megha-Tropiques are a duo of female "gijinka" interpretations of the Megha-Tropiques satellite used by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the Centre National D'Études Spatiales (NES).
Megha-Tropiques was launched on October 12, 2011 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. A joint mission between the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the Centre National D'Études Spatiales (NES), the French government space agency.
Megha-Tropiques studies the water cycle and energy exchanges in the tropics. This satellite holds a microwave imager that observes precipitation and cloud properties, a six channel microwave radiometer that observes water vapor distribution, and a radiometer that measures outgoing radiative fluxes.
GPM gains the assistance of Megha-Tropiques 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.
