| | 1 | This segment covers the period from 5 July 2024 to 30 September 2024 (end of the science operations) and covers part of the Nightside 2024 season, the Bryant plot is available at: http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/bryant_msp_v5000_Tail_2024.pdf. |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | This segment includes SC2 re-entering date (8 September 2024) and science planning for September 2024 will be only for SC134. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | It is agreed that on SC2 planning will be based on the assumption that some payload on SC2 will be ON (FGM, PEACE, WEC) but this might not be the case. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Baseline telemetry is 140%. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | The segment includes a season of ‘Long Eclipses’ in September - November 2024 when all instruments will be switched off. The estimated preliminary dates for the payload to be off during the Long Eclipse season are: |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | SC34 16/09/2024 09:00 - 30/09/2024 16:00 |
| | 12 | SC1 29/09/2024 16:00 - 07/11/2024 20:00 |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | There will be moon eclipses on SC34 in September 2024, the eclipse time is 02/09/2024 17:12 - 02/09/2024 18:46. The payload constrains time is TBD. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | There are no manoeuvres in this segment. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | Cluster crosses the predicted magnetopause until: SC34 - 01/07/2024, SC1 - 03/07/2024, SC2 - 08/07/2024. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | Cluster crosses the predited neutral sheet from: SC34 - 01/08/2024, and there are no predicted NS crossings on SC12. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | The main science targets are conjunctions between Cluster and MMS and/or THEMIS in the plasma sheet, and auroral acceleration region in the northern hemisphere. |
