This segment covers the period from 18 March to 14 May 2023 (after the short eclipses season 2023).

Baseline telemetry: 140%.

The ESOC's dates for the payload to be off are:

• C2 20/02/2023 18:00 - 15/04/2023 06:00
• C1 25/02/2023 09:00 - 10/04/2023 18:00
• C34 27/02/2023 15:00 - 28/03/2022 06:00

There are no moon eclipses during this period.

There will be manoeuvres on 19/04/2023 on C1 and C2, on on 28/04/2023 on C1 and C2. The full list of manoeuvres for this period is included here ​​http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_nov2022_nov2023.pdf The list was updated in November 2022, and the most recent plan for November 2022- November 2023 can be found here: ​​http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_nov2022_nov2023_v2.pdf.

The main science targets are conjunctions between Cluster and MMS and/or THEMIS at the magnetopause, bow shock or inside the magnetosheath (triple conjunctions and double with small inter-SC separation), foreshock bubbles and auroral acceleration region.

Science planning of three BM1 intervals for foreshock bubbles was adjusted on 25/01/2023, affected orbits 3608, 3610, 3614. Updated Bryant plots for the April, May and Dayside 2023 season reflect these changes. The list of 4SC BM1 intervals also has been updated (v2).

Science planning for two northern AAR intervals was adjusted on 13/03/2023, affected orbits are 3615 (BM1 mode is 30 mins shorter), 3616 (BM2 mode is 30 mins longer), 3620 (BM2 is 20 mins longer). These updates are in tables MSP48p2_byorbit_draft_v2.pdf, MSP48p2-4SC_BM1_draft_v3.pdf, MSP48p2-4SC_BM2_draft_v2.pdf.
