UVCS MISSION LOG ---------------- Date: 02 October 2001 ----- Last revision: 06 November 2001 (Wu) -------------- File Name: 2001.11.04.a.log ----------- Compiled by: R. Wu ------------ UVCS Activity: Ulysses Quadrature Campaign for 04 - 05 November 2001 -------------- Mini Synoptic for 05 November 2001 * UVCS autonomously placed in SAFE mode ~ 04:31 UT 05 November 2001 due to Polarizer Mech error * SOHO Activity: -------------- EOF Staff: S. Suess: Lead Scientist ---------- R. Wu: Commander Y.-K. Ko: Planner M. Uzzo Command file: 01.11.02.17:06:52.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) Ulysses Quadrature Campaign Sequence: 01.11_uls1b.tcl SCI_SPEC: Ulysses will be at quadrature on 9 November. We will make observations from 29 October - 12 November above the limb at PA 350 along the radial towards Ulysses. The north polar coronal hole has just formed for the new cycle and is not yet stable. We hope to observe the passage of the coronal hole boundary past the sub-Ulysses point and compare the measured properties with solar wind properties at Ulysses to establish the correlation between plasma properties in the corona and in-situ.
