The Megha-Tropiques mission is a planned mission to study the water cycle in the tropical atmosphere in the context of climate change A collaborative effort between Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and French Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), Megha-Tropiques was scrapped in 2003, but later revived in 2004 when India increased its contribution and costs were lowered

The ISRO plans to launch of the 'Mehga Tropiques', a weather satellite that is co-developed by the Indian and French space agency CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales). The mission of the satellite is to study tropical weather patterns and contribute to the study of cyclones, monsoons, and other climate and weather related phenomenon.
According to the CNES website, the main objectives of the Megha-Tropiques mission are to provide simultaneous measurements of several elements of the atmospheric water cycle such as water vapour, clouds, condensed water in clouds, precipitation and evaporation; measure the corresponding radiative budget at the top of the atmosphere; and ensure high temporal sampling in order to characterise the life cycle of the convective system and to obtain significant statistics.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman G. Madhavan Nair has said that after the success of Chandrayaan 1, India's Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is going to launch an exclusive weather satellite jointly with the French space agency CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) in 2009.
The satellite, named 'Mehga Tropiques' will study the tropical atmosphere and its associated phenomena and would help India and France to study the cyclones, monsoon and other changes.
