Data Summary
MAG was powered on for November, except for the 3 Nov – 8 Nov when it was OFF due to a spacecraft
FDIR event. Considering the FDIR event and as a precaution against further offset shifts, for the period 8
Nov to 5/12 12:10, the sensors temperatures were raised to -60C, rather than the nominal ~-90C.
BM is available through the month at a minimum of 64 vectors per second.

The spacecraft started the month at 0.49AU on the 1st of November and at the end of the month it was at
0.80AU from the Sun.

After an investigation by ESA, Airbus and Imperial, the unexplained SC interference has been confirmed not
to impact the science quality of the OBS data so this is no longer being removed from these periods.
Cleaning of data around thruster firings requires use of the contaminated IBS data so users should beware
of data during these periods, which can be identified by the thruster flag.

Normal Mode

Operations 1 November – 30 Science phase throughout period, normal data produced,

November except for Mag OFF 3-8/11.

Operational Mag OFF 3-8/11. Sensor temperature set point at 213.15K
Events of Note

Normal mode data is produced from the burst mode stream when it is available, as is the case this month.
This can produce small changes in the time sampling of the data over the transition; these are smaller than
the cadence of 1/8 of a second.

Offsets

Page 3 of 8 MAG Data Release Report 2211 14 August 2023

1 Oct – 3 Nov:
The OBS and IBS changed significantly as expected after the reboot on the 8th. The OBS offsets followed a linear trend throughout
the rest of the month. The IBS offsets step changes on the 18th, 24th due to solar array (SA) movement. Between these events,
the offset linearly changed, and the trend has been chosen accordingly.

Appendix

Appendix A: Files within this release 23/05/2023

Files 1-3/11 were delivered with October Data on the 22/05/2023. An update to solo_L2_mag-rtn-
normal-1-minute_20221103_V01.cdf to remove one erroneous data point was made on 08/08/2023
and it is included in this DRR for clarity. It was produced with V2.26.1.
