| | 87 | |
| | 88 | This template covers 01 December 2023 - 30 September 2024 (orbits 3710 - 3846), until the end of nominal science operations. The MSP50 includes Dayside Season 2024 and part of the Tail Season 2024, the Bryant plots for this period are at http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/bryant_msp_v5000_Dayside_2024.pdf and http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/bryant_msp_v5000_Tail_2024.pdf. |

| | 90 | This template incudes SC2 re-entering date (8 September 2024) and science planning for September 2024 will be only for SC134. It is expected that payload on SC2 after the end of short eclipse season (May 2024) will be OFF for most of the time. |
| | 91 | |
| | 92 | The period includes a season of ‘Short Eclipses’ in February - May 2024 when all instruments will be switched off. |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | The estimated dates for the payload to be off during the Short Eclipse season are: |
| | 95 | |
| | 96 | * C2 03/02/2024 21:00 - 24/05/2024 10:00 |
| | 97 | * C1 19/02/2024 17:00 - 04/05/2024 02:00 |
| | 98 | * C34 26/02/2024 12:00 - 06/04/2024 22:00 |
| | 99 | |
| | 100 | |
| | 101 | There will be moon eclipses on SC34 in September 2024, the eclpse time is 02/09/2024 17:12 - 02/09/2024 18:46. The payload constrains time TBD. |
| | 102 | |
| | 103 | The period also includes a season of ‘Long Eclipses’ in September - November 2024 when all instruments will be switched off. |
| | 104 | |
| | 105 | The estimated dates for the payload to be off during the Long Eclipse season are: |
| | 106 | |
| | 107 | * SC34 16/09/2024 09:00 - 30/09/2024 16:00 |
| | 108 | * SC1 29/09/2024 16:00 - 07/11/2024 20:00 |
| | 109 | |
| | 110 | |
| | 111 | There will be re-entry manouvers on SC2 in January 2024 and manoeuvres on SC3 in Spring 2024, the manoeuvres timetable will be available in October 2023. |
| | 112 | |
| | 113 | |
| | 114 | Three segments have been defined for this period: |
| | 115 | * MSP 50.1 covers orbits 3710 - 3765 (1 December 2023 to 5 April 2024), prior and including most of the short eclipses 2024 season |
| | 116 | * MSP 50.2 covers orbits 3766 - 3805 (5 April 2024 to 5 July 2024), after the short eclipse 2024 season |
| | 117 | * MSP 50.3 covers orbits 3806 - 3846 (5 July 2024 to 30 September 2024) before and including the long eclipses 2024 season) |

| | 122 | |
| | 123 | This segment covers the period from 1 December 2024 to 5 April 2024, part of the Dayside 2024 season, the Bryant plot is available at: http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/bryant_msp_v5000_Dayside_2024.pdf |
| | 124 | |
| | 125 | Baseline telemetry is 140%. |
| | 126 | |
| | 127 | The period includes most of the season of ‘Short Eclipses’ in February - May 2024 when all instruments will be switched off. |
| | 128 | |
| | 129 | The estimated dates for the payload to be off during the Short Eclipse season are: |
| | 130 | |
| | 131 | * C2 03/02/2024 21:00 - 24/05/2024 10:00 |
| | 132 | * C1 19/02/2024 17:00 - 04/05/2024 02:00 |
| | 133 | * C34 26/02/2024 12:00 - 06/04/2024 22:00 |
| | 134 | |
| | 135 | here will be re-entry manouvers on SC2 in January 2024 and manoeuvres on SC3 in Spring 2024, the manoeuvres timetable will be available in October 2023. |
| | 136 | |
| | 137 | Cluster crosses the predicted magnetopause from: SC1 - 07/11/2023, SC2 - 10/11/2023, C34 - 14/11/2023. |
| | 138 | Cluster crosses the predicted bow shock from: SC1 - 16/12/2023, SC2 - 18/12/2023, SC34 - 25/12/2024. |
| | 139 | |
| | 140 | |
| | 141 | The main science targets are conjunctions between Cluster and MMS and/or THEMIS at the magnetopause, bow shock and inside the magnetosheath, and auroral acceleration region in the sourthern hemisphere. |
