Wu Command file: 04.09.10.15:24:39.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) Coordinated Faraday Rotation Measurements with Mars Express Sequence: 04.09_Faraday_str2.tcl SCI_SPEC: The Mars Express spacecraft will have a projected passage close to the solar limb. Recordings of Mars Express' radio signal will be used to search for Faraday rotation fluctuations due to waves in the solar corona. We expect Mars Explorer to pass behind a streamer on September 10-11 at heights ranging between 6 and 4 solar radii, and the north coronal hole between 4 and 3 solar radii on September 12-16. UVCS will observe O VI and Lyman lines to determine kinetic temperatures, average densities and outflow speeds.
