Special Time notes:

Note A: ST-APOG . This is a spacecraft working group request to support Van
Allen Probes (VAP . formerly RBSP) observations. The radars highlighted in
the square brackets for each interval should run the same mode as for RBSP
CT-TRIG intervals, e,g., rbspscan (a full scan of at least 16 beams with an
interleaved mini-scan of 3 beams, with a scan time of 2-min). All other
radars should run a .normal. 1-min common time mode e.g., normalscan. The
PIs/operators are welcome 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/ .

Note B: THEMISSCAN - This is a spacecraft working group request to support
the MMS and THEMIS missions. 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
