| 78 | |
| 79 | This period covers 11 November 2022 - 14 May 2023 (orbits 3540 – 3620). The Bryant plot for this period is at http://jsocwiki.rl.ac.uk/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/bryant_msp4800_Dayside_2023.pdf. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | The period includes a season of ‘Short Eclipses’ in February-March 2023 when all instruments will be switched off. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | The preliminary dates for the payload to be off are (exact dates TBD later): |
| 84 | |
| 85 | * C2 20/02/2023 15:00 - 15/04/2023 15:00 |
| 86 | * C1 25/02/2023 03:00 - 11/04/2023 02:00 |
| 87 | * C34 27/02/2023 09:00 - 28/03/2022 13:00 |
| 88 | |
| 89 | There are no moon eclipses during this period. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | There will be manoeuvres on 14/11/2022 on C3, on 16/11/2022 on C34, and on C3 on 23/11/2022, 05/01/2023, 11/01/2023, 20/01/2023, 27/02/2023, and 03/02/2023.

| 92 | |
| 93 | Two segments have been defined for this period: |
| 94 | * MSP 48.1 covers orbits 3540 - 3595 (11 November 2022 to 18 March 2023, prior and including part of the short eclipses season) |
| 95 | * MSP 48.2 covers orbits 3596 - 3620 (18 March 2023 to 14 May 2023, after the short eclipses season) |
| 96 | |
| 97 | The data volume is 115% in November - early December 2022, 125% for the rest of December 2022, 140% in January 2023 - until the start of the short eclipses season, and 125% in March 2023 until the end of the segment (this part is TBC). |
| 98 | |
| 99 | |
| 100 | == MSP48.1 == |
| 101 | [wiki:MSP481 MSP48.1] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | This segment covers the period from 11 November 2022 to 18 March 2023 (before and including majority of the short eclipses season 2023). |
| 104 | |
| 105 | Baseline telemetry: 115% for November - early December (when Cluster does not cross the plasma sheet or magnetopause), 125% in December 2022, 140% from January 2023 until the start of the short eclipses season. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | The preliminary dates for the payload to be off are (exact dates TBD later): |
| 108 | |
| 109 | * C2 20/02/2023 15:00 - 15/04/2023 15:00 |
| 110 | * C1 25/02/2023 03:00 - 11/04/2023 02:00 |
| 111 | * C34 27/02/2023 09:00 - 28/03/2022 13:00 |
| 112 | |
| 113 | There are no moon eclipses during this period. |
| 114 | |
| 115 | There will be manoeuvres on 14/11/2022 on C3, on 16/11/2022 on C34, and on C3 on 23/11/2022, 05/01/2023, 11/01/2023, 20/01/2023, 27/02/2023, and 03/02/2023.

| 116 | |
| 117 | |
| 118 | Cluster crosses the predicted neutral sheet until: C3 - 05/11/2022, C4 - 08/11/2022, C12 - 14/11/2022 |
| 119 | Cluster crosses the predicted magnetopause from: C1 - 11/11/2022, C2 - 13/11/2022, C34 - 17/11/2022 |
| 120 | Cluster crosses the predicted bow shock from: C12 - 21/12/2022, C34 - 30/12/2022 |
| 121 | |
| 122 | The main science targets are foreshock bubbles, bow shock, magnetopause and conjunctions between Cluster with MMS and/or THEMIS. |
