This segment covers the period from 11 June 2022 to 16 September 2022 (before and including majority of the long eclipses season 2022).

Baseline telemetry: 140% for June and July and 125% for August and September.

For the eclipse season the payload will be off, the preliminary dates are:

• C34 09/09/2022 01:00 - 18/09/2022 05:00
• C12 13/09/2022 07:00 - 22/09/2022 12:00

There are moon eclipses during this period, on 27/06/2022, on C4 at 27/06/2022 18:01 - 19:26 and on C3 at 27/06/2022 18:25 - 19:44. The schedule for switching off instruments during the moon eclipse is TBD.

There will be manoeuvres on 26/06/2022 on C1234, on 08/07/2022 on C3, on 01/08/2022 on C3, on 11/08/2022 on C3, on 20/08/2022 on C3, the full list of manoeuvres for this period is included here ​​http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_feb2022_aug2022.pdf.

Payload on SC34 will be off for a combined time of the manoeuvres on 26/06/2022 and the moon eclipse on 27/07/2022, preliminary estimates are:

• C4: 26/06/2022 17:47 - 28/06/2022 12:00
• C3: 26/06/2022 18:12 - 28/06/2022 12:00

Cluster crosses the predicted magnetopause until: C34 - 21/06/2022, C1 - 25/06/2022, C2 - 27/06/2022. Cluster crosses the predicted neutral sheet from: C34 - 18/07/2022, C12 - 20/07/2022.

The main science targets are the magnetopause, magnetosheath, skimming magnetopause, plasma sheet and conjunctions between Cluster with MMS and/or THEMIS.
