    5555There will also be "moon eclipses" on spacecraft 3 and 4 on 5 April 2019. On that day both spacecraft will spend about 40 minutes passing through the Moon's shadow. Thus we expect that science operations will cease for several hours around these eclipses, due to lack of power. These eclipses will take place when the Cluster spacecraft are around 48000 km from the dusk side of the Earth, so are not associated with eclipses seen from Earth.

    57 There are manoeuvres during this period, and a list is included here http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_nov2018-aug2019.pdf. The magnetopause is accessible throughout this period and the bow shock will be accessible from early January to early May.

    6767There will also be "moon eclipses" on 8 November 2018. On that day each spacecraft will spend about one hour passing through the Moon's shadow. Thus we expect that science operations will cease for several hours around these eclipses, due to lack of power. These eclipses will take place when the Cluster spacecraft are around 100000 km from Earth (mainly in the GSE +Y direction), so are not associated with eclipses seen from Earth.

    69 There are manoeuvres during this period, and a list is included here http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_may-oct2018-v1.pdf. The [wiki:MP2019 magnetopause] is accessible at the start of MSP39 and at the very end, and the neutral sheet will be accessible for most of the MSP.

    7171Note that the reference spacecraft for JSOC planning and commanding was changed at the start of MSP 39, over the course of orbit 2819. We change the reference from C1 to C3, as C1 will move far away from the other spacecraft in the autumn of 2018. So C1 was the reference at the start of orbit 2819 and C3 at the start of 2820.
