INTERBALL (TAIL) in the IACG/ISTP Campaigns

This home page will be maintained for the various tasks of the mission analysis during INTERBALL participation in the IACG (Inter-Agency Consultative Group for Space Sciences)/ISTP (International Solar-Terrestrial Physics Science Initiative) campaigns.

IACG/ISTP Tail Campaign # 1

The sitiation analysis for the INTERBALL TAIL and GEOTAIL (NASA/Institute of Space and Astronautical Sciences, ISAS, Japan) correlative operations scheduling in frame of the IACG Tail Campaign # 1 are presented for each month separatly:

The IACG/ISTP Tail Campaign #1 operation time table

This time intervals were selected by the IACG WG-1/WG-2 during Sapporo, Japan, September 6, 1995 meeting.

Click the number in the table below for the orbital configuration visualization.

The orbits are shown in the Geocentric Solar Ecliptic (SE) and in the Geocentric Solar Geomagnetic (GSM) coordinate systems (as a projections into the X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z planes).

The satellite positions with 1 hour step are labeled by the corresponding regions symbols.
