-The Bryant plot for this period, covering 2 December 2018 to 25 May 2019 (orbits 2903 - 2979), is on JSOCweb http://www.jsoc.rl.ac.uk/msp/bryant_msp-Dayside2019.pdf. This period includes a season of 'Short Eclipses' during late February and early March of 2019, when all the instruments will be switched off. 
+The Bryant plot for this period, covering 2 December 2018 to 25 May 2019 (orbits 2903 - 2979), is on JSOCweb http://www.jsoc.rl.ac.uk/msp/bryant_msp-Dayside2019.pdf. This period includes a season of 'Short Eclipses' during late February and early March of 2019, when all the instruments will be switched off.  For the eclipse season, C1 and C2 payload will be off for the period 21/02/2019 06:00 - 14/03/2019 18:00, and C3 and C4 payload will be off for the period 23/02/2019 06:00 - 12/02/2019 06:00.
 
 There 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.

-* MSP 40.2 covers orbits 2948 to 2976 (14 Mar to 18 May, after the short eclipses season)

-This segment covers the period from 02 December to 23 February 2018. The magnetopause is accessible throughout this period, and the bow shock will be accessible from early January. There are manoeuvres on 17 December (C2 and C3), 16 January (C3), 25 January (C3), 12 February (C2) and 19 February (C1 and C2).
