Special Time notes:

Note A: ST-APOG - This is a spacecraft working group request to support Van Allen Probes (VAP - formerly RBSP) observations of the radiation belts. The radars highlighted in the square brackets for each interval should run rbspscan. This is presently the mode that also runs during CT-TRIG intervals (a full scan of at least 16 beams with an interleaved mini-scan of 3 beams, with a scan time of 2-min), as agreed by the PIs. The PIs/operators are encouraged to adapt the mode to best fit the geometry of the conjunctions (e.g., by adapting the range gates) - VAP footprint plots can be found at http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~rcf2c13/VAP/ . All other radars should run normalscan (with a scan time of 1-min).

Note B: THEMISSCAN - This is a spacecraft working group request to support the Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission. This mode has a camping beam which is sounded on every 6 seconds. The scanning scheme is such that the field of view scan is interleaved with the camping beam. The PIs/operators are welcome to adapt the mode for the geometry for any conjunctions as they see fit (e.g., by changing the camping beam) - footprint plots at http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~rcf2c13/footprints/ . This month, some of these intervals contain conjunctions with the new moon period over North America.
