MSP34.2

The magnetopause and bow shock are available during this period. The PL OFF period, requested by ESOC, extends from 07:05 on 13/02/2016 to 21:30 on 05/03/2016, and ESOC will command EFW and FGM operations during that period. There is an extra short eclipse on C2 on 07/03/2016 (09:15 - 21;30). The GI Kadjic proposal will be executed. The template Bryant plots are available.

31 October: The data fill is now 115% to compensate for the eclipse PL OFF period. Several MP, BS and WBD BM2 periods are added, the location on the Bryant plots appears shifted because C1 (the satellite used for the plotting) is separated in time from C2, C3, C4 at the boundaries. For the WBD BM2, C2, C3 and C4 are used to determine the optimum timing.

9 November: The final version is available. The GI Blanco-Cano proposal for long (15-hour) NM1 periods around the outbound and inbound Bow Shock has been added, to take place in late March and early April. Several 3-hour BM1 MP periods have been added, at the end of the Blanco-Cano periods. The final Bryant plots are attached, together with the 'by-orbit' analysis (which includes the timings for the NM1 periods), the list of D0 periods, and the list of BM2 periods.

6 January: The BM2 in orbit 2448 has been deleted, and a 2h BM2 period (for DOZC) added to orbit 2447 (see attachment). D0 Periods have been adjusted (see attachment). There is a Moon eclipse on 8 Feb (see website for timings).

21 January: The BM1 periods at the inbound magnetopause crossings were deleted, following the SOWG meeting. Some BM1 periods around the magnetic equator were proposed, requiring individual timings for each satellite, and some BM2 periods for EQUA. It was also decided that NM3 should be used on C1 during the Blanco-Cano long NM1 sessions, and a 1h BM1 period on C1 for the inbound Bow Shock should be inserted. The D0 (no-data-taking) periods were removed for the orbits which involved the Blanco-Cano requests. New Bryant plots, single SC BM, NM3 and D0 lists, and updated by-orbit analysis are attached.
