The summary plot of the time distribution of the multisatellites magnetic conjugation


  • The summary plot shows the monthly time distribution of all predicted magnetic conjugations between four spacecraft considered. The days are shown along X axis and Universal time along Y axis.
  • To show the time of conjugation, in frame of the corresponding day for each SC the corresponding colour and line are used:
    • for the first SC the red color and the first line are used,
    • for the second one - the turquoise and the second line,
    • for the third one - the pink color and the third line,
    • for the fourth SC - the dark blue color and the fourth line are used.
    On the plot the SC names are shown by the corresponding colours.

  • The summary plot permit to find the simultaneous magnetic conjugations of 3 and even 4 satellites.
  • But it is necessary to realize, that some of the multisatellite conjugations (of 4 SC) is simply the simultaneously conjugation of two couples of the satellites in the diferent parts of magnetosphere. The corresponding numerical files help to clarify each multisatellite conjugation.
