This segment covers the period from 11 November 2022 to 18 March 2023 (before and including majority of the short eclipses season 2023).

Baseline telemetry: 115% for November - early December (when Cluster does not cross the plasma sheet or magnetopause), 125% in December 2022, 140% from January 2023 until the start of the short eclipses season.

The preliminary dates for the payload to be off are (exact dates TBD later):

*   C2 20/02/2023 15:00 - 15/04/2023 15:00
*    C1 25/02/2023 03:00 - 11/04/2023 02:00
*    C34 27/02/2023 09:00 - 28/03/2022 13:00 

There are no moon eclipses during this period.

There will be manoeuvres on 14/11/2022 on C3, on 16/11/2022 on C34, and on C3 on 23/11/2022, 05/01/2023, 11/01/2023, 20/01/2023, 27/02/2023, and 03/02/2023. The full list of manoeuvres for this period is included here ​http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_jun2022_feb2023.pdf

* Cluster crosses the predicted neutral sheet until: C3 - 05/11/2022, C4 - 08/11/2022, C12 - 14/11/2022.
* Cluster crosses the predicted magnetopause from: C1 - 11/11/2022, C2 - 13/11/2022, C34 - 17/11/2022. 
* Cluster crosses the predicted bow shock from: C12 - 21/12/2022, C34 - 30/12/2022.

The main science targets are foreshock bubbles, bow shock, magnetopause and conjunctions between Cluster with MMS and/or THEMIS.
