	Activity:
	---------

	1) Faraday Rotation Measurements During 2006 MEX/VEX Solar Conjunctions

	Sequence: 06.10_mexvex.tcl, n50min = 62

	SCI_SPEC: The VEX and MEX spacecrafts will have projected passages
		  close to the solar limb. VEX will travel West to East,
		  and MEX, East to West as seen in the sky. On October 23-24, 
		  2006 both spacecraft will be at the same solar radial.
		  Recordings of VEX and MEX's radio carrier signal will be 
		  used to search for Faraday rotation fluctuations due to 
		  waves in the solar corona. UVCS will observe H I Lyman 
		  line to determine kinetic temperatures, average densities 
		  and outflow speeds.

	OBS_PROG: Primary: Spatial Coverage
		  Sub Obj: Temporal Coverage

	SCI_OBJ:  Primary: Coronal Dynamics...Outflow Velocities
		  Sub Obj: Plasma Properties...Proton Temperature
		  Sub Obj: Plasma Properties...Density

	OBJ:      Streamer

	CMP_NAME: Mars and Venus Express Solar Conjunction, 
		  UVCS; LASCO; EIT; Mex(S/C); Vex(S/C)

	CMP_NUM:  7191

	Duration: start: 2006.10.26.07:59
