| 74 | This period covers 03 December 2021 - 11 June 2022 (orbits 3388 – 3551). The Bryant plot for this period is at http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/bryant_msp4600_Dayside_2021.pdf. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | The period includes a season of ‘Short Eclipses’ in February-March 2022 when all instruments will be switched off. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | The preliminary dates for the payload to be off are: |

| 81 | * C2: 23/02/2022 14:00 - 31/03/2022 20:00 |
| 82 | * C34: 25/02/2022 20:00 - 22/03/2022 19:00 |
| 83 | |
| 84 | There are moon eclipses during this period, on C4 on 29/05/2022 04:54 - 05:22 and on C2 on 30/05/2022 16:55 - 17:19. The schedule for the moon eclipse is TBD. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | There will be manoeuvres on 09/02/2022 on C134, on 17/02/2022 on C1234, on 24/02/2022 on C3, on 28/03/2022 on C3, 06/04/2022 on C3, and on 15/04/2022 on C3, the full list of manoeuvres for this period is included here http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_mar2021_apr2022.pdf. |

| 89 | Two segments have been defined for this period: |
| 90 | * MSP 46.1 covers orbits 3388 - 3434 (03 December 2021 to 19 March 2022, prior and including majority of the short eclipses season, 140% data volume) |
| 91 | * MSP 46.2 covers orbits 3435 - 3471 (19 March 2022 to 11 June 2022, after the short eclipses season, 140% data volume) |
| 92 | |
| 93 | == MSP46.1 == |
| 94 | [wiki:MSP461 MSP46.1] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | This segment covers the period from 03 December 2021 to 19 March 2022(before and including majority of the long eclipses season 2021) and has 140% data volume as a baseline. |
| 97 | |
| 98 | For the eclipse season the payload will be off, the preliminary dates are: |
| 99 | |
| 100 | * C1: 25/02/2022 20:00 - 29/03/2022 14:00 |
| 101 | * C2: 23/02/2022 14:00 - 31/03/2022 20:00 |
| 102 | * C34: 25/02/2022 20:00 - 22/03/2022 19:00 |
| 103 | |
| 104 | There is no moon eclipses during this segment. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | There will be manoeuvres 09/02/2022 on C134, on 17/02/2022 on C1234, on 24/02/2022 on C3, the full list of manoeuvres for this period is included here http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/manoeuvres_mar2021_apr2022.pdf. |
| 107 | |
| 108 | Cluster crosses the predicted bow shock from: C2 - 24/12/2021, C1 - 26/12/2021, C34 - 04/01/2022. |
| 109 | |
| 110 | The main science targets are the magnetopause, bow shock, magnetosheath, conjunctions between Cluster with MMS and/or THEMIS, and hiss origin. The BM1 data for the PEACE/WHISPER cross-calibration in the magnetosheath also will be collected. |
