Purpose & Objectives

During the CP (TBC)NECP, Solar Orbiter will pass inside the Earth magnetic lobes, where the B field amplitude is very low. It is the occasion for RPW to measure the SCM sensitivity.

...

The measurement will have to be done when the S/C is close to the Earth. In the current Feb. 2020 launch scenario this will only occurs during the first week of commissioning and during the Earth GAM (EGAM) at the end of the CP.

During these two phases, the operations will be driven by the MOC. Especially, the MOC will have to perform critical S/C manoeuvres during the GAM, which may interfere with the RPW operation requests for SCM measurement.
