P. Miralles: Lead Scientist --------- Y.-K. Ko: Commander, Planner M. Uzzo R. Wu Command file: 06.08.03.16:47:46.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) Joint UVCS and Faraday Rotation Measurements Sequence: 06.08_hole.tcl, ro = 283, grt = 0 SCI_SPEC: The Cassini spacecraft will have a projected passage close to the solar limb. Recordings of Cassini's radio carrier signal will be used to search for Faraday rotation fluctuations due to waves in the solar corona. UVCS will observe O VI and Lyman lines to determine kinetic temperatures, average densities and outflow speeds. Roll positions are VL-corrected for PA=4 degrees.
