| 157 | Baseline telemetry is 140%. |
| 158 | |
| 159 | On SC2 only FGM, PEACE and WEC are planned to be switched on after the eclipse season. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | The period includes part of the ‘Short Eclipses’ in February - May 2024 when all instruments will be switched off. |
| 162 | |
| 163 | The estimated dates for the payload to be off during the Short Eclipse season are: |
| 164 | |
| 165 | * C2 01/02/2024 04:00 - 24/05/2024 10:00 |
| 166 | * C1 19/02/2024 17:00 - 04/05/2024 02:00 |
| 167 | * C34 26/02/2024 12:00 - 06/04/2024 22:00 |
| 168 | |
| 169 | There will be manoeuvres on SC3 in Spring 2024, the manoeuvres timetable will be available in November 2023. The along-orbit shift after the manoeuvres will be minimal. |
| 170 | |
| 171 | Cluster crosses the predicted bow shock until: SC34 - 24/05/2024, SC1 - 28/05/2024, SC2 - 31/05/2024. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | Cluster crosses the predicted magnetopause until: C34 - 01/07/2024, SC1 - 03/07/2024, SC2 - 08/07/2024. |
| 174 | |
| 175 | |
| 176 | The main science targets are conjunctions between Cluster and MMS and/or THEMIS at the magnetopause, bow shock and inside the magnetosheath, and auroral acceleration region in the southern hemisphere. |
