| | 7 | Baseline telemetry is 140%. |

| | 9 | On SC2 only FGM, PEACE and WEC are planned to be switched on after the eclipse season. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | The period includes part of the ‘Short Eclipses’ in February - May 2024 when all instruments will be switched off. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | The estimated dates for the payload to be off during the Short Eclipse season are: |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | * C2 01/02/2024 04:00 - 24/05/2024 10:00 |
| | 16 | * C1 19/02/2024 17:00 - 04/05/2024 02:00 |
| | 17 | * C34 26/02/2024 12:00 - 06/04/2024 22:00 |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | There will be manoeuvres on SC3 in Spring 2024, the manoeuvres timetable will be available in November 2023. The along-orbit shift after the manoeuvres will be minimal. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | Cluster crosses the predicted bow shock until: SC34 - 24/05/2024, SC1 - 28/05/2024, SC2 - 31/05/2024. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | Cluster crosses the predicted magnetopause until: C34 - 01/07/2024, SC1 - 03/07/2024, SC2 - 08/07/2024. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | 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 southern hemisphere. |
