Out of Plane manoeuvre was performed on Metop-B in September 2022 meaning that Metop-B is following a similar LTAN drift strategy to Metop-A, but 6 years later. Due to LTAN drift, Metop-B left the reference orbit ground track in October 2023, to ensure phase separation with Metop-C. Metops will be rephased after launch of the first Metop-SG, such that a tandem mission between Metop-SGA1 and Metop-C can be performed to cross calibrate old and new instruments. After the tandem mission all Metops will be phased such that they are either half or quarter of an orbit apart.

It was originally planned that subsequent Metop satellites will be launched at approximately five-year intervals, each having a planned operational life of 5 years - as such there would just be one operational satellite at a time.

Metop-A had its orbit lowered by performing 23 apogee manoeuvres to almost empty its fuel tanks and is expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere within 25 years. Metop-A was decommissioned on 30 November 2021, after which only Metop-B and C remain phased approximately 180 degrees apart. The final

Each of the three satellites were originally intended to be operated sequentially, however good performance of the Metop-A and Metop-B satellites mean there was a period of all three satellite operating. EUMETSAT lowered the orbit of Metop-A and decommissioned the spacecraft in November 2021

Prior to the launch of Metop-C, Metop-A and Metop-B were operated in a co-planar orbit approximately half an orbit apart. With the launch of Metop-C, the three Metop satellites initially share the same orbit separated by approximately a third of an orbit, albeit with Metop-A drifting in LTAN.

However, after Summer 2020 Metop-C was relocated to be approximately half an orbit apart from Metop-B, with Metop-A held between the other Metops in preparation for its disposal. Metop-B and Metop-C High Rate Picture Transmission (HRPT) transmits real-time data continuously.

Due to the longer than expected in-orbit performance of Metop-A and Metop-B, all three Metop spacecraft were operated simultaneously until decommissioning of Metop-A, Metop-B and eventually Metop-C. Metop spacecraft will be succeeded in their operational role by the
